Il 6 antibody

Manufactured by Abcam
Sourced in United Kingdom, United States

The IL-6 antibody is a laboratory tool used to detect and quantify the presence of the interleukin-6 (IL-6) cytokine in biological samples. IL-6 is a signaling protein involved in various immune and inflammatory processes. This antibody can be used in techniques such as ELISA, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry to measure IL-6 levels.

Immunostaining of IL-6 and PGRN in HCC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To detect the expression of IL-6 and PGRN in normal and HCC tissue, the human liver carcinoma and normal tissue microarrays (BC03119a, US Biomax, Inc., Rockville, MD) containing 95 HCC and 10 normal liver tissues were examined by immunohistochemical staining. This part of the study did not require approval from the Institutional Review Board as the tissue microarray was commercially sourced. Immunohistochemistry was performed as described59 (link) with IL-6 antibody (1:400, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and PGRN antibody (1:50, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX). Semi-quantitative analysis of the staining intensity score was as described22 (link).

TMA sections were deparaffinized and rehydrated using xylene and graded concentrations of ethanol. Heat-induced antigen retrieval was performed in citrate buffer (10 mM citrate, pH 6.0). Endogenous peroxidase was blocked in a 0.3% H2O2 solution, after which sections were incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C; rabbit polyclonal IL-6 antibody (1:400, Abcam), rabbit polyclonal to IL-6Rα (1:800, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), and rabbit monoclonal pSTAT3 antibody (1:150, Cell Signaling Technology, clone Tyr705). The antibodies were detected using HRP-labeled secondary (goat anti-rabbit) and tertiary (rabbit anti-goat) antibodies for 30 min at RT (1:100, DAKO,), and visualized with 3,3-diaminobenzidine. Hematoxylin was used for counterstaining.

Protein (50 μg) was separated by SDS‐ polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred onto PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) membrane (Bio-Rad Lab Inc., Hercules, CA) by electro blotting. The membrane was blocked with 5% nonfat dry milk in X1 TBST (50 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 0.01% Tween 20) for 1 h at room temperature. The membrane was then incubated in primary antibody, IL-6 antibody (#ab6672, Abcam Inc, Cambridge, MA) or β-actin (#4970, Cell Signaling Technology Inc., Danvers, MA) at 1:1000 dilution in X1 TBST with 5% bovine serum albumin (Sigma Aldrich Inc., St. Louis, MO) overnight at 4 °C. The membrane was washed three times with X1 TBST for 10 min each and incubated with HRP‐conjugated secondary antibody (#7074, Cell Signaling Technology Inc., Danvers, MA) at 1:5000 dilution in X1 TBST with 5% nonfat dry milk for 1 h at room temperature. Following washes in X1 TBST, proteins were detected using the enhanced chemiluminescence system (Bio-Rad Lab Inc, Hercules, CA).

Expression of the proinflammation factors IL-1β and IL-6 in gastrocnemius muscle was detected by immunohistochemistry. The sections were deparaffinized with xylene and rehydrated with ethanol, and antigen retrieval was performed in 0.01 M citrate buffer (pH 6.0) in a pressure cooker, followed by natural cooling to room temperature. The sections were incubated in 0.3% hydrogen peroxide at room temperature for 10 min; goat serum was used to block the sections for 15 min at room temperature, which were then incubated overnight at 4°C with a rabbit polyclonal anti-IL-1 antibody (1:200 dilution) and IL-6 antibody (1:200 dilution) (both from Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom) followed by horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG antibody (ABclonal, Wuhan, China) for 30 min at room temperature. Immunodetection was performed using diaminobenzidine solution according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After washing, the sections were counterstained, dehydrated, and then coverslipped using neutral gum sealant.

Quantifying Hippocampal IL-6 Protein Levels

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
IL-6 antibody (1:1,000 dilution; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA, Cat. Number: ab6672) was used to recognize IL-6 (24 kDa). Western blot quantification of the hippocampal tissues was performed as described by Xie et al. (2008). Briefly, signal intensity was analyzed using a Bio-Rad (Hercules, CA, USA) image program (Quantity One). We quantified Western blots in two steps. First, we used β-actin levels to normalize (e.g., determining ratio of IL-6 to β-actin) protein levels and control for loading differences in total protein amount. Second, we presented protein level changes in the mice receiving the surgery as a percentage of those in the sham group mice. 100% of protein level changes refer to control levels for the purpose of comparison to experimental conditions.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
