This sequence produces protein interleukin-1B, a human protein produced during fevers. For our project we detected IL1B with two single-chain antibodies fused to transcription initiating proteins (BBa_K2876001, BBa_K2876002). We validated our IL1B with an ELISA (https://www.thermofisher.com/elisa/product/IL-1-beta-Human-ELISA-Kit/BMS224-2) which proved production of IL1B, and that the IL1B produced was folded properly so that antibodies could bind. Validation of antibody binding was essential to ensure that IL1B could function as the target protein in our Single-Chain Antibody Prokaryotic Two Hybrid Detection System (Figure 1).

Figure 2: A graph of the absorbance at 540 nm from an ELISA of DH5-alpha cells transformed to produce IL1B (in orange) compared to the IL1B-Standard (in blue) and the negative control of untransformed DH5-alpha cells (in grey). Protein was extracted using a B-PER protocol. We used the negative control to calculate a null hypothesis for the log of absorbance when there is no protein. H0 Absorbance = Log(0.082) = -1.086. We then did a right-tailed hypothesis test to see if our values of Human Interleukin-1 Beta were statistically significant. The z-score was 21.57; the cutoff for statistical significance was a z-score of 1.895. Therefore, our data was statistically significant and we can accept the alternative hypothesis, Ha: Absorbance =/= -1.806. This leads us to conclude that IL1B protein recognizable by IL1B antibodies is being made.

Columns 3, 4, and 5 rows A-D are DH5-alpha cells transformed with our IL1B plasmid. Columns 3, 4, and 5 row E are untransformed DH5-alpha cells.

Columns 1,2, and 6 show the ELISA standards, from least (row A) to most (row H) diluted. Columns 3, 4, and 5 rows A-D are DH5-alpha cells transformed with our IL1B plasmid. Columns 3, 4, and 5 row E are untransformed DH5-alpha cells.
