Background of IL6

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL6 gene. IL-6 is an interleukin that acts as both a pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine. It is secreted by T cells and macrophages to stimulate immune response to trauma, especially burns or other tissue damage leading to inflammation. IL-6 is one of the most important mediators of fever and of the acute phase response. IL-6 is also essential for hybridoma growth and is found in many supplemental cloning media such as briclone. Bowcock et al. (1988) assigned the IL6 gene to chromosome 7p21. By in situ hybridization and Southern blot analysis of mouse-human hybrid cell lines, Sutherland et al. (1988) mapped the IL-6 gene to chromosome 7p15.

1 Reviews For Anti-Interleukin-6 IL6 Antibody Picoband®

Using Boster’s IL-6 antibody (RP1012) in WB on HK-2 cells produced clear, specific bands with high sensitivity and cost-effectiveness, outperforming previously tested antibodies.

Excellent

SKU RP1012
Application Western Blot
Sample human HK-2 cells
Sample Processing Description Cell samples were directly lysed in RIPA buffer, mixed with loading buffer at the appropriate ratio, and denatured at 98 °C. Twenty microliters of each protein sample were loaded per lane onto SDS-PAGE.
Other Reagents 5% non-fat milk
Primary Antibody Interleukin-6 IL6 Antibody Picoband®
Primary Incubation 1:1000, overnight at 4 ℃
Secondary Antibody HRP Conjugated AffiniPure Goat Anti-rabbit IgG (H+L)
Secondary Incubation 1 h in RT
Detection Substrate: ECL substrate
Results Summary Previously, WB experiments were performed using antibodies from two domestic and international suppliers, which showed poor specificity and were expensive. Subsequently, Boster’s IL-6 antibody (Cat. RP1012) was used, demonstrating high specificity, strong titer, cost-effectiveness, and yielding clear bands.

3 Customer Q&As for Anti-Interleukin-6 IL6 Antibody Picoband®

Question

We are currently using anti-IL6 antibody RP1012 for human tissue, and we are content with the WB results. The species of reactivity given in the datasheet says human. Is it true that the antibody can work on horse tissues as well?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2019-10-28

Answer

The anti-IL6 antibody (RP1012) has not been validated for cross reactivity specifically with horse tissues, but there is a good chance of cross reactivity. We have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in horse you can get your next antibody for free. Please contact me if I can help you with anything.

Question

We have been able to see staining in human lung. Any tips? Is anti-IL6 antibody supposed to stain lung positively?

Verified Customer

Asked: 2018-04-12

Answer

From literature lung does express IL6. From Uniprot.org, IL6 is expressed in left coronary artery, fibroblast, lung, among other tissues. Regarding which tissues have IL6 expression, here are a few articles citing expression in various tissues:
Fibroblast, Pubmed ID: 3758081
Lung, Pubmed ID: 15489334

Question

My team were happy with the WB result of your anti-IL6 antibody. However we have seen positive staining in fibroblast secreted. using this antibody. Is that expected? Could you tell me where is IL6 supposed to be expressed?
