IL-6 antibody | MP5-20F3
Rat anti Mouse interleukin-6 antibody, clone MP5-20F3 (MCA1490) used to demonstrate IL-6 expression in mouse aortic root by immunofluorescence.
Image caption:
Ablation of adipocyte IKKβ (inhibitor of NF‐κB [nuclear factor κB] kinase β) aggravates atherosclerotic lesional inflammation at aortic root of obese LDLR (low‐density lipoprotein receptor)–deficient (LDLR −/−) mice. Four‐week‐old male loxP‐flanked IKKβ LDLR −/− (IKKβF/FLDLR−/−) and IKKβ‐deficient LDLR −/− (IKKβΔAd LDLR −/−) mice were fed a high‐fat diet for 12 weeks. Representative images and quantification data are shown for immunofluorescence staining at the aortic root of obese IKKβF/FLDLR−/− and IKKβΔAd LDLR −/− mice (scale bars=100μm): IL‐6 (interleukin 6; n=5 each group; values are mean±SEM; **P<0.01). DAPI indicates 4',6‐diamidino‐2‐phenylindole.

Rat anti Mouse Interleukin-6 antibody, clone MP5-20F3 recognizes mouse Interleukin 6 (IL-6), also known as B-cell hybridoma growth factor or Interleukin HP-1. IL-6 is a potent lymphoid cell growth factor principally expressed by macrophages and T-cells. IL-6 is a potent inducer of the acute phase response.
Animals lacking IL-6 demonstrate a marked reduction in the production of proinflammatory Th17 cells (Ivanov et al. 2006). In humans disruption of the IL-6 gene may lead to the presentation of rheumatoid arthritis systemic juvenile (RASJ), an inflammatory articular disorder manifesting with daily spiking fever, macular rash, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, serositis, myalgia and arthritis.
Rat anti Mouse Interleukin-6 antibody, clone MP5-20F3 may be used to neutralize IL-6 bioactivity in a functional assay (Abrams et al. 1992 and Kambayashi et al. 1995).
