Rat anti Mouse Interleukin-6 antibody, clone 6B4 IGH 54recognizes mouse IL-6 (interleukin-6), a multifunctional pro-inflammatory cytokine secreted by activated T cells, macrophages, endothelial cells, fibroblasts and osteoblasts acts as the primary inducer of the acute phase response in the liver.
IL-6 signals through a membrane bound receptor complex consisting of the ligand-binding IL-6Ra chain (CD126) and the signal-transducing component gp130 (CD130). IL-6 can also stimulate cells expressing gp130 through a soluble IL-6R. IL-6 has been shown to stimulate B cell differentiation and subsequent immunoglobulin production, promote hybridoma growth, as well as regulating bone metabolism and stimulating energy mobilisation in muscle and fatty tissue.
Rat anti Mouse Interleukin-6 antibody, clone 6B4 IGH 54 can be used to neutralize the activity of 50pg/ml of recombinant mouse IL-6 by >95% in a functional assay.
