Description

IL6 antibody

Research Area

Product Categories/Products/Antibodies,Immunogen Type: Recombinant Protein

Images & Validation

• Tested Applications: ELISA, IHC, WB
• Dilution Range: ELISA: 1:10,000, IHC: 1:200 - 1:1,000, WB: 1:300 - 1:1,000
• Reactivity: Human
• Application Notes:
  This purified antibody has been tested for use in IHC and western blotting. Reactivity is also expected in ELISA, neutralizations, radioimmunoassay and immunohistochemistry. The endotoxin content is estimated to be < 10 pg/µl by the LAL method. By western blot a band approximately 23.7 kDa in size corresponding to native human IL-6 protein is expected in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user.

Key Properties

• Antibody Type: Primary Antibody
• Host: Rabbit
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Isotype: IgG
• Immunogen: This purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with mature length recombinant human IL-6 produced in E.coli.
• Purity: IL-6 antibody detects recombinant and native IL-6 present in body fluids and cell supernatants in various assays (ie. IL-1 stimulated IL-6 production from fibroblasts). In Western blot analysis of natural cell products or human body fluids, multiple bands of IL-6 will appear due to the variable amount of glycosylation on the molecule. The antiserum is also useful for neutralization of human of IL-6 activity in bioassays. For neutralization, incubate the sample with a 1:400 dilution of the antiserum for at least 4 hours before being tested. A control of similarly diluted normal rabbit IgG (heat inactivated) is recommended. In neutralization experiments in vitro, this antibody does not result in enhanced activity of IL-6. However, because antibodies to IL-6 may act as a soluble receptor in vivo, some antibodies to IL-6 act as carriers and enhance IL-6 activity. This product has minimal reactivity with mouse IL-6.
• Conjugation: Unconjugated
