• Tested Applications: DOT, ELISA, IHC, IP, WB
• Dilution Range: ELISA: 1:1,000 - 1:5,000, IHC: 1:400 - 1:800, IP: 1:400 - 1:800, WB: 1:500 - 1:2,000
• Reactivity: Human
• Application Notes:
  IL-6 antibody has been tested in western blot. This antibody is suitable for use in neutralizations, ELISA, radioimmunoassay, and immunoprecipitation. Reactivity in other immunoassays is unknown. Expect ~23.7kDa. 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. For immunoblot use the supernatants or lysates of 2 x 106 endotoxin-stimulated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). PBMC are stimulated for 24 hours with 1% (v/v) human serum plus 10ng/mL E. coli LPS. For immunoprecipitation, pre-clearing with a non-specific rabbit IgG is helpful to reduce background. The antiserum is 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.

• Host: Rabbit
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Isotype: Antiserum
• Immunogen: This whole rabbit serum was prepared by repeated immunizations with recombinant human IL-6 produced in E.coli.
• Target: IL6
• Purity: Anti-IL-6 antiserum 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). This product has minimal reactivity with mouse IL-6.
