IL-6 antibody | MP5-20F3
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).
