Bio-Rad, AHP1040, IL-6 antibody

Rabbit anti Human Interleukin-6 antibody is specific for human IL-6 (Interleukin-6), a 184 amino acid multifunctional pro-inflammatory cytokine, secreted by activated T cells, macrophages, endothelial cells, fibroblasts and osteoblasts. The diverse biological properties of IL-6 include the principle inducer of the acute phase response in the liver, stimulation of B cell differentiation and subsequent immunoglobulin production, promotion of hybridoma growth, regulation of bone metabolism and stimulation of energy mobilization in muscle and fatty tissue. IL-6 signals through a membrane bound receptor complex consisting of the ligand-binding IL-6Rα chain (CD126) and the signal-transducing component gp130 (CD130), but can also stimulate cells expressing gp130 through a soluble IL-6R. Rabbit anti Human Interleukin-6 antibody has been shown to inhibit the biological activity of Human IL-6.
