Protein Name & Synonyms:
IL-6
Applications:
ELISA (dilution: 0.1, 0.2ug/ml), Western Blotting
Concentration (lot specific):
IgG concentration 0.1 mg/ml after reconstitution.
Preparation:
Antisera to human IL-6 were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG prepared by affinity chromatography.
Reconstitution:
Reconstitute with 0.5 ml sterile PBS containing 0.1% Bovine Serum Albumin.Care should be taken during reconstitution as the protein may appear as a film at the bottom of the vial. RayBiotech recommend that the vial is gently mixed after reconstitution.. For long term storage the addition of 0.09% sodium azide is recommended.
Species Reactivity:
Human
This product may be used under reducing or non-reducing conditions.
This product 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 mobilisation 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.
Prior to reconstitution store at +4 °C.
After reconstitution store at -20 °C.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
If stored in this manner, this product is stable for 12 months after receipt.
