Product Specific Information

Description: The MP5-32C11 antibody reacts with mouse interleukin-6 (IL-6), a 21-28 kDa cytokine secreted by a variety of cell types.

Applications Reported: The Functional Grade Biotin anti-mouse IL-6 antibody (clone MP5-32C11) has been reported for use as the in vivo capture antibody for the In Vivo Cytokine Capture Assay (IVCCA). The IVCCA facilitates measurement of cytokines in serum by increasing their in vivo half lives dramatically. This increases the sensitivity of measurement of in vivo cytokine production 30- to 1000- fold.

For detailed methodology in this application, please refer to Finkelman, F., S. Morris, T. Orekhova, and D. Sehy. 2003. The In Vivo Cytokine Capture Assay for measurement of cytokine production in the mouse. In Current Protocols in Immunology. Unit 6.28. J. Coligan, A. Kruisbeek, D. Margulies, E. Shevach, and W. Strober, eds. John Wiley and Sons, New Yorkz.

Applications Tested: The Functional Grade Biotin MP5-32C11 antibody has been tested by LAL assay to ensure it is free of endotoxin, and has been tested as the detection antibody in a sandwich ELISA for analysis of mouse IL-6 in combination with the purified MP5-20F3 (14-7061) antibody for capture and recombinant mouse IL-6 (14-8061) as the standard.A suitable range of concentrations of the FG Biotin MP5-32C11 antibody for ELISA detection is 0.5-2 µg/mL. A standard curve consisting of doubling dilutions of the recombinant standard over the range of 1000 pg/mL - 8.0 pg/mL should be included in each ELISA plate.

Endotoxin: Less than 0.05 ng/µg antibody as determined by the LAL assay.

Storage and handling: Use in a sterile environment.

Target Information

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.
