IL-6 antibody | 6B4 IGH 54

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.
