Product Specific Information

Description: The MP5-20F3 antibody reacts with mouse interleukin-6 (IL-6). The MP5-20F3 antibody is a neutralizing antibody. mouse IL-6 (also known as B Cell Stimulating Factor, BCSF, and BSF-2) is a 21-28 kDa factor produced by a variety of cell types, including monocytes, fibroblasts and endothelial cells. Upon stimulation, macrophages, T, B, mast, and glial cells, eosinophils, keratinocytes and granulocytes also secrete IL-6. This pleiotrophic cytokine influences the antigen-specific immune response, inflammatory response, and the development of neurons, and is a major mediator of the acute phase reaction.

Applications Reported: This MP5-20F3 antibody has been reported for use in cytokine neutralization, ELISA capture antibody, and ELISPOT capture antibody.

Applications Tested: The Functional Grade Purified MP5-20F3 antibody has been tested by LAL assay to verify low endotoxin levels, by ELISA, and in bioassay for neutralization of mouse IL-6 bioactivity.

The MP5-20F3 antibody at 0.03 µg/mL has been found to inhibit by 50% the biological effects of 0.01 ng/mL mouse IL-6 in an B9 cell proliferation assay. Detailed information and protocols about can be found in the BestProtocols® section.

The MP5-20F3 antibody has been tested as the capture antibody in a sandwich ELISA for analysis of mouse interleukin-6 (IL-6) in combination with the biotinylated MP5-32C11 (Product # 13-7062-81) antibody for detection and recombinant mouse IL-6 (Product # 14-8061) as the standard. A suitable range of concentrations of this antibody for ELISA capture is 0.5-2 µg/mL. A standard curve consisting of doubling dilutions of the recombinant standard over the range of 8-1000 pg/mL should be included in each ELISA plate.

Storage and handling: Use in a sterile environment.

Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered.

Purity: Greater than 90%, as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Endotoxin Level: Less than 0.001 ng/µg antibody, as determined by LAL assay.

Aggregation: Less than 10%, as determined by HPLC.

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.
