Rabbit anti Human Interleukin-6 antibody is specific for human IL-6 (Interleukin-6), a 184 amino acid multifunctional pro-inflammatory cytokine, secreted by activated T cells, macrophages, endothelial cells, fibroblasts and osteoblasts.

The diverse biological properties of IL-6 include the principle inducer of the acute phase response in the liver, stimulation of B cell differentiation and subsequent immunoglobulin production, promotion of hybridoma growth, regulation of bone metabolism and stimulation of energy mobilization in muscle and fatty tissue. IL-6 signals through a membrane bound receptor complex consisting of the ligand-binding IL-6Rα chain (CD126) and the signal-transducing component gp130 (CD130), but can also stimulate cells expressing gp130 through a soluble IL-6R.

Rabbit anti Human Interleukin-6 antibody has been shown to inhibit the biological activity of Human IL-6.

Target Species
Human
Product Form
Purified IgG - lyophilized
Reconstitution
Reconstitute with 0.1ml distilled water
Care should be taken during reconstitution as the protein may appear as a film at the bottom of the vial. Bio-Rad recommend that the vial is gently mixed after reconstitution. For long term storage the addition of 0.09% sodium azide is recommended.
N.B. For functional studies do not add sodium azide
Antiserum Preparation
Antisera to human IL-6 were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG prepared by affinity chromatography.
Buffer Solution
Phosphate buffered saline
Preservative Stabilisers
None present
Carrier Free
Yes
Immunogen
Recombinant human IL-6 (PHP045)
Approx. Protein Concentrations
IgG concentration 1.0 mg/ml after reconstitution

  1. 1 To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND50] of the biological activity of Human IL-6 (1.0 ng/ml).
  2. 2This product requires heat-mediated antigen retrieval prior to staining paraffin-embedded sections. Citrate buffer, pH6.0, is recommended for this purpose.
Where this product has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the product for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
ELISA
Purified rabbit anti human IL-6 may be used in an indirect ELISA or as the capture reagent in a sandwich ELISA with biotinylated rabbit anti human IL-6 (AHP1040B) as the detection reagent and recombinant human IL-6 (PHP045) as the standard.
Western Blotting
Rabbit anti human IL-6 may used under either reducing or non-reducing conditions with recombinant human IL-6 (PHP045) as the positive control
