Immunogen
This antibody was prepared by repeated immunizations with recombinant human IL-6produced in E.coli.
Isotype
IgG
Quantity
100 μl
Recommended Dilution
This antibody has beentested for use in neutralizations, ELISA,immunohistochemistry, radioimmunoassay,immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting. Itrecognizes IL-6. Reactivity in otherimmunoassays is unknown. For immunoblotting,use the supernatants or lysates of 2 x 106endotoxin-stimulated human peripheral bloodmononuclear cells (PBMC). PBMC arestimulated for 24 hours with 1% (v/v) humanplus 10 ng/mL E.coli LPS. Forimmunohistochemistry, either paraffin fix orcryofix tissue. For immunoprecipitation, preclearingwith a non-specific rabbit IgG is helpfulto reduce background. For use in ELISAformats, this antibody is best used as thesecond antibody in combination with amonoclonal antibody as the capture antibody.

Specificity
This antibody detects recombinant and native IL-6 present in body fluids and cell supernatants in various assays (i.e. IL-1 stimulated IL-6 production from fibroblasts). In Western blot analysis of natural cell products_recover or human body fluids, multiple bands of IL-6 will appear due to the variable amount of glycosylation on the molecule. The antibody is also useful for neutralization of human IL-6 activity in bioassays.For neutralization, incubate the sample with a 1:400 dilution of the antibody for at least 4 hours before testing. Acontrol of similarly diluted normal rabbit IgG (heat inactivated) is recommended. In neutralization experiments invitro, this antibody does not result in enhanced activity of IL-6. However, because antibodies to IL-6 may act as asoluble receptor in vivo, some antibodies to IL-6 act as carriers and enhance IL-6 activity.
