ANTI-INTERLEUKIN-6 ANTIBODY CLONE 4B6

Specificity

Reacts with ovine IL-6. No reactivity detected to recombinant ovine IL-1beta, IL-8, MCP or TNFalpha.

SPECIES REACTIVITY:

The antibody is likely to react with caprine (goat) IL-6.

Immunogen

Recombinant ovine IL-6

Application

Capture antibody in ELISA. Recommended coating concentration 5 μg/mL. See suggested protocol.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Suggested ELISA Protocol For Ovine IL-6

1. Coat high capacity microtitre wells (e.g. Nunc maxisorp) with monoclonal anti-IL-6 antibody (Chemicon Catalog Number MAB1004) at a concentration of 5 μg/mL in 0.1 M carbonate buffer pH 9.6 overnight at 4ºC.

2. Wash wells 3 x with PBS + 0.05% Tween 20 (PBST).

3. Add samples to wells. Incubate at room temperature in a humidified box for 1 hour. Wash 3 x with PBST.

4. Dilute rabbit anti-IL-6 (Chemicon Catalog Number AB1839) 1:500 in PBST and add 100 μL to wells. Incubate at room temperature for 30 minutes. Wash 3 x with PBST.

5. Dilute anti-rabbit IgG-HRP to appropriate level in PBST and add 100 μL to wells. Incubate 30 minutes at room temperature. Wash 3 x with PBST.

6. Add 100 μL of TMB chromagen to each well. Incubate for 5-10 minutes and stop reaction with 50 μL of 2M sulfuric acid.

Notes:

The anti-rabbit IgG HRP must be adsorbed against mouse immunoglobulin, and should be checked for non-reactivity with coated plates.

Non-specific binding may be reduced by addition of protein such as skim milk powder to the diluents.

Assay sensitivity may be altered by adjusting incubation times and reagent concentrations.
