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 IL6 gene to chromosome 7p15.

Experimental workflow. One hundred four rats were randomly divided into five groups: group S (sham, n = 20), group M (middle cerebral artery occlusion [MCAO], n = 28), group H2M (intermittent hypobaric hypoxia preconditioned MCAO group, 2 h/day, n = 20), group H6M (intermittent hypobaric hypoxia preconditioned MCAO group, 6 h/day, n = 28), and group HpM (persistent hypobaric hypoxia preconditioned MCAO group, n = 28). Behavioral tests and morphological staining (TTC staining) were used to analyze the severity of infarction. Total protein expression of NeuN (a specific marker of mature neurons), caspase-3, cleaved-caspase-3, and IL-6 was estimated using western blotting, which explained the severity of injury from different perspectives. Ultrastructural changes were observed under a transmission electron microscope. The most effective pretreatment group was selected for further label-free proteomic study and provided a reliable direction for mechanism exploration. Western blotting was used to verify the expression of the target protein, and key markers for the biological process were detected using immunofluorescence. caspase-3, cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase 3; IL-6, interleukin 6; NeuN, neuron-specific nuclear protein; TTC, 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride.

| SKU | PA1352 |
|---|---|
| Application | Western Blot |
| Sample | Human mcf-7 cells |
| Sample Processing Description | RIPA lysis buffer supplemented with a protease inhibitor cocktail was added to the cell culture dish, and the cells were lysed on ice for 30 min. The lysates were then centrifuged, and the supernatants were collected. Protein concentration was determined, and samples were adjusted to equal concentrations. Subsequently, 5× protein loading buffer was added, and the samples were denatured at 100 °C for 10 min. A total of 15 μL of protein sample was loaded per lane for SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. |
| Other Reagents | Blocking buffer |
| Primary Antibody | CRCP Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody |
| Primary Incubation | 1:2000, overnight at 4 ℃ |
| Secondary Antibody | HRP Conjugated AffiniPure Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) |
| Secondary Incubation | 1 hour in room temperature |
| Detection | Substrate: ECL, Imaging system:ChemiDoc MP |
| Results Summary | As shown in the figure, the expression levels of CRCP protein in MCF-7 cells at different drug treatment time points are presented. The Western blot results obtained with this antibody are clear; although there are a few faint nonspecific bands above, they do not affect result interpretation. It can be observed that the expression of the target protein in MCF-7 cells increases with longer drug treatment times. |

Question
Will anti-IL6 antibody PA1352 work on zebrafish WB with left coronary artery?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-02-14
Answer
Our lab technicians have not validated anti-IL6 antibody PA1352 on zebrafish. You can run a BLAST between zebrafish and the immunogen sequence of anti-IL6 antibody PA1352 to see if they may cross-react. If the sequence homology is close, then you can perform a pilot test. Keep in mind that since we have not validated zebrafish samples, this use of the antibody is not covered by our guarantee. However we have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in zebrafish left coronary artery in WB, you can get your next antibody for free.

Question
I have a question about product PA1352, anti-IL6 antibody. I was wondering if it would be possible to conjugate this antibody with biotin. I would need it to be without BSA or sodium azide. I am planning on using a buffer exchange of sodium azide with PBS only. Would there be problems for me to conjugate the antibody and store it in -20 degrees in small aliquots?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-10-03
Answer
We do not recommend storing this antibody with PBS buffer only in -20 degrees. If you want to store it in -20 degrees it is best to add some cryoprotectant like glycerol. If you want carrier free PA1352 anti-IL6 antibody, we can provide it to you in a special formula with trehalose and/or glycerol. These molecules will not interfere with conjugation chemistry and provide a good level of protection for the antibody from degradation. Please be sure to specify this in your purchase order.

Would PA1352 anti-IL6 antibody work on parafin embedded sections? If so, which fixation method do you recommend we use (PFA, paraformaldehyde, other)?
B. Carter
Verified customer
Asked: 2013-01-31
Answer
It shows on the product datasheet, PA1352 anti-IL6 antibody as been validated on WB. It is best to use PFA for fixation because it has better tissue penetration ability. PFA needs to be prepared fresh before use. Long term stored PFA turns into formalin, as the PFA molecules congregate and become formalin.
