IL6 Goat Polyclonal Antibody

Specifications

Product Data
Applications	ELISA, FN, IHC, WB
Recommend Dilution	Neutralization: To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND50] of the biological activity of hIL-6 (5 ng/ml), a concentration of 0.05-0.08 µg/ml of this antibody is required. Indirect ELISA: To detect hIL-6 by indirect ELISA (using 100 μl/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.5-2.0 μg/ml of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purified antibody, in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of recombinant hIL-6. Sandwich ELISA: To detect hIL-6 by (using 100 μl/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.5-2.0 μg/ml of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purified antibody, in conjunction with a biotinylated anti-Human IL-6 as a detection antibody (Cat.-No PP1028B), allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of recombinant hIL-6. Western Blot: To detect hIL-6 this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1-0.2 µg/ml. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant hIL-6 is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions. Immunohistochemistry on Paraffin Sections: This antibody stained FFPE sections of Human cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Recommended Concentration: 2.5 µg/ml (overnight at 4°C). Use heat induced antigen retrieval with a pH 6.0 sodium citrate buffer. An HRP-labeled polymer detection system was used with a DAB chromogen.

Background	Interleukin 6 (IL6) is a multifunctional 24 kDa protein originally discovered in the medium of RNA stimulated fibroblastoid cells. It is upregulated by IL1, TNF, PDGF, IFN beta, TNF alpha, NGF, IL17 and downregulated by glucocorticoids IL4, TGF beta. IL6 appears to be directly involved in the responses that occur after infection and cellular injury, and it may prove to be as important as IL1 and TNF alpha in regulating the acute phase response. IL6 has also been implicated in regulating adipose mass. IL6 is reported to be produced by fibroblasts, activated T cells, activated monocytes or macrophages and endothelial cells. It acts upon a variety of cells including fibroblasts, myeloid progenitor cells, T cells, B cells and hepatocytes. In addition, IL6 appears to interact with IL2 in the proliferation of T lymphocytes. IL6 potentiates the proliferative effect of IL3 on multipotential hematopoietic progenitors.
