Invitrogen™ IL-6 Monoclonal Antibody (5IL6)

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Supplier:  Invitrogen™ M620

Catalog No. ENM620

Description

M620 was successfully to detect IL-6 in Flow application. M620 targets IL-6 in ELISA, and Western blot applications and shows reactivity with human samples. The M620 immunogen is recombinant human IL-6. M620 detects IL-6 which has a predicted molecular weight of approximately 22 kDa. The M620 IL6 antibody (clone 5IL6) has successfully been paired as the coating antibody in a sandwich ELISA with detection antibody M621B (biotinylated conjugate of clone 7IL6). Typical dilutions for sandwich ELISA include 1 μg/mL for coating and 0.125 - 0.25 μg/mL for detection. Antibody M620 (clone 5IL6) and biotinylated antibody M621B (clone 7IL6) have successfully been used in combination with recombinant IL6 protein SIL6 in ELISA applications. This product has been tested for endotoxins by limulus amoebocyte lysate (LAL) assay and contains an endotoxin concentration of less than or equal to 10 endotoxin units per milligram (EU/mg).

IL-6 is a gene that encodes a cytokine that plays a role in inflammation and the maturation of B cells. The protein produced by this gene is an endogenous pyrogen that can induce fever in people with autoimmune diseases or infections. The gene is primarily expressed 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. Elevated levels of the encoded protein have been found in virus infections, including COVID-19 (disease caused by SARS-CoV-2). Diseases associated with IL6 include Kaposi Sarcoma and Rheumatoid Arthritis, Systemic Juvenile.
