Anti-Interleukin-6 antibody produced in rabbit

General description

Anti-Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is produced in rabbit using purified human recombinant IL-6 produced in E. coli as the immunogen. Interleukin-6 is a multifunctional protein originally discovered in the media of cells stimulated with double stranded RNA. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a cytokine produced by activated T cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts and activated monocytes or macrophages.

Specificity

The antibody will neutralize the biological activity of human IL-6 in cell culture. The antibody does not cross-react with human IL-1β, TNF-α or mouse IL-6.

Immunogen

Purified human recombinant IL-6 produced in E. coli.

Application

Anti-Interleukin-6 antibody can be used in western blotting and ELISA for studying human IL-6. It can also be used for dot blot immunoassay. Anti-Interleukin-6 antibody can be used for selective neutralization of human IL-6 bioactivity in cell culture. It can also be used in radioimmunoassay (RIA) (diluted 1:60,000).

It may also be used in immunoblotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Interleukin 6 (IL-6) acts upon a variety of cells, including fibroblasts, myeloid progenitor cells, T cells, B cells, and hepatocytes. Interleukin 6 (IL-6) also potentiates the proliferative effect of Interleukin 3 (IL-3) on multipotential hematopoietic progenitors.

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a cytokine produced by activated T cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts and activated monocytes or macrophages. It plays a crucial role in regulating the acute phase response as well as responses occurs after injury and infection. It interacts with IL-2 and facilitates in the proliferation of T lymphocytes.
