IL6 Mouse Monoclonal Antibody [Clone ID: 33A12.G9]

Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	33A12.G9
Applications	ELISA, FC, WB
Recommend Dilution	WB: 1:1000 FC: 0.5 mg/mL ELISA: 1:10,000
Reactivity	Human
Host	Mouse
Clonality	Monoclonal
Immunogen	This Protein A purified monoclonal antibody was produced in mouse by repeated immunizations with mature full length recombinant human IL-6 produced in E.coli followed by hybridoma development.
Specificity	This purified antibody detects recombinant and native IL-6 present in body fluids and cell supernatants in various assays (ie. IL-1 stimulated IL-6 production from fibroblasts). In Western blot analysis of natural cell products or human body fluids, multiple bands of IL-6 will appear due to the variable amount of glycosylation on the molecule.
Formulation	0.02 M Potassium Phosphate, 0.15 M Sodium Chloride, pH 7.2
Concentration	1.0 mg/mL - lot specific
Conjugation	Unconjugated
Storage Condition	Store vial at -20° C or below prior to opening. This vial contains a relatively low volume of reagent (25 µL). To minimize loss of volume dilute 1:10 by adding 225 µL of the buffer stated above directly to the vial. Recap, mix thoroughly and briefly centrifuge to collect the volume at the bottom of the vial. Use this intermediate dilution when calculating final dilutions as recommended below. Store the vial at -20°C or below after dilution. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing.
Gene Name	interleukin 6
Database Link	Entrez Gene 3569 Human UniProt ID P05231
Background	IL-6 is a secreted cytokine with a wide variety of biological functions. It is a potent inducer of the acute phase response and plays an essential role in the final differentiation of B-cells into Ig-secreting cells Involved in lymphocyte and monocyte differentiation. IL-6 induces myeloma and plasmacytoma growth and induces nerve cells differentiation and acts on B-cells, T-cells, hepatocytes, hematopoeitic progenitor cells and cells of the CNS. IL-6 also acts as a myokine. It is discharged into the bloodstream after muscle contraction and acts to increase the breakdown of fats and to improve insulin resistance. Anti-IL-6 antibody is ideal for investigators involved in Cancer, Neuroscience and Immunology research.
Synonyms	mouse Anti-IL-6 antibody, mouse anti-interleukin-6 antibody, HSF, Hybridoma growth factor, Hybridoma plasmacytoma growth factor, IFNB2, IL 6, IL6 protein, Interferon beta 2, Interleukin 6, BSF2, CDF
Note	Anti-IL 6 antibody has been tested for use in ELISA, Flow Cytometry, and western blotting. Reactivity is also expected in neutralizations, radioimmunoassay and immunohistochemistry. The endotoxin content is estimated to be <10 pg/µl by the LAL method. By western blot a band approximately 23.7 kDa in size corresponding to native human IL-6 protein is expected in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user.
