AHP1040B 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 mobilisation in muscle and fatty tissue. IL-6 signals through a membrane bound receptor complex consisting of the ligand-binding IL-6Ra chain (CD126) and the signal-transducing component gp130 (CD130), but can also stimulate cells expressing gp130 through a soluble IL-6R.

Storage
Prior to reconstitution store at +4oC.
After reconstitution store at -20oC.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
12 months from date of reconstitution.
Antiserum Preparation
Antisera to human IL-6 were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG prepared by affinity chromatography.
