IL-6 Polyclonal antibody

• 

  WB analysis using 30953-1-AP

  LPS and Brefeldin A treated NR8383 cells were subjected to SDS PAGE followed by western blot with 30953-1-AP (IL-6 antibody) at dilution of 1:500 incubated at room temperature for 1.5 hours.

IL-6 antibodies are used for both research and therapeutic purposes to detect, quantify, and block the activity of interleukin-6 (IL-6), a cytokine central to immune regulation, inflammation, hematopoiesis, and cancer biology. Proteintech has an extensive range of IL-6 antibodies validated for WB, IHC, IF/ICC, IP, Neutralization, ELISA and more.

Background Information

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an interleukin that acts as both a pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine. IL-6 protein is secreted by a variety of cell types including T cells and macrophages as phosphorylated and variably glycosylated molecule. IL-6 plays an essential role in the final differentiation of B-cells into Ig-secreting cells involved in lymphocyte and monocyte differentiation. It induces myeloma and plasmacytoma growth and induces nerve cells differentiation Acts on B-cells, T-cells, hepatocytes, hematopoietic progenitor cells and cells of the CNS. IL-6 is also considered a myokine, a cytokine produced from muscle, and is elevated in response to muscle contraction. IL-6 has been shown to interact with interleukin-6 receptor and glycoprotein 130. Additionally, IL-6 is involved in hematopoiesis, bone metabolism, and cancer progression, and has been defined an essential role in directing transition from innate to acquired immunity.
