Mouse IL-6 Monoclonal Antibody | anti-IL-6 antibody
mAb anti-Human IL-6
background: IL-6, also called B-cell stimulatory factor-2 (BSF-2), is an important cytokine for the differentiation of B-cells into immunoglobulin-secreting cells. IL-6 is mainly produced by T-cells, macrophages and endothelial cells in response to pathogenic molecular stimuli during infection, trauma and the growth phase of some types of cancer. IL-6 is up-regulated by the binding of Toll-like receptors to antigen pattern ligands. In acute inflammatory phase, IL-6 causes increased body temperature by initiating synthesis of Prostaglandin E2 in hypothalamus.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a cytokine that functions in inflammation and the maturation of B cells. In addition, the encoded protein has been shown to be an endogenous pyrogen capable of inducing fever in people with autoimmune diseases or infections. The protein is primarily produced at sites of acute and chronic inflammation, where it is secreted into the serum and induces a transcriptional inflammatory response through interleukin 6 receptor, alpha. The functioning of this gene is implicated in a wide variety of inflammation-associated disease states, including suspectibility to diabetes mellitus and systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

Uniprot Description
IL6: Cytokine with a wide variety of biological functions. It is a potent inducer of the acute phase response. 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. 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. Genetic variations in IL6 are associated with susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis systemic juvenile (RASJ). An inflammatory articular disorder with systemic- onset beginning before the age of 16. It represents a subgroup of juvenile arthritis associated with severe extraarticular features and occasionally fatal complications. During active phases of the disorder, patients display a typical daily spiking fever, an evanescent macular rash, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, serositis, myalgia and arthritis. A IL6 promoter polymorphism is associated with a lifetime risk of development of Kaposi sarcoma in HIV-infected men. Belongs to the IL-6 superfamily.

Product Notes
The IL-6 il6 (Catalog #AAA592345) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The mAb anti-Human IL-6 reacts with Human. Other species not tested and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's IL-6 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA). ELISA: The antibody reacts with recombinant IL-6 antigen. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the IL-6 il6 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "IL-6, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
