Anti il 6 antibody

Manufactured by BD
Sourced in Denmark, United Kingdom

The Anti-IL-6 antibody is a laboratory reagent used to detect and quantify the presence of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in biological samples. IL-6 is a cytokine involved in the inflammatory response and immune system regulation. The antibody can be used in various immunoassay techniques to measure IL-6 levels in research and diagnostic applications.

IL-6 Quantification by ELISA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To measure the level of IL-6, ELISA was performed. Briefly, MaxiSorp 96-well plates (Nunc, Roskilde, Denmark) were coated with antigen or anti-IL-6 antibody (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). After adding each sample or recombinant standard protein, they were detected with biotin-conjugated anti-IL-6 antibody followed by HRP-conjugated streptavidin (BD Biosciences). Finally, substrate solution was added, and color development was measured using an ELISA reader (Packard Instrument, Meriden, CT, USA). Antibody titers were expressed as the reciprocal log2 titer of the highest sample dilution that gave an OD430 of 0.08, the value of the PBS blank.

Blocking IL-6 Signaling Pathway

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To block the signaling pathway, IL-6 was pre-incubated with 10 μg/ml of anti-IL-6 antibody (BD Biosciences) at 37°C in culture media for 30 min before the media was used to treat cells. Soluble gp130 Fc (sgp130Fc; 10 μg/ml; R & D Systems) was directly added into the IL-6-containing media for the treatment. Cells were pre-treated with NSC74859 (100 μM; Selleckchem) for 1 hr at 37°C before the addition of IL-6 and fresh NSC74859. Cells were then subjected to ICC and/or total lysate fractionation to examine hMSH3 localization.
The construct expressing constitutively activated STAT3 (S3c) tagged with FLAG (S3c-FLAG) was a kind gift from Dr. Beverly Barton (UMDNJ, Newark, NY) (24 (link)). Forty-eight hours post-transfection, cells were harvested to prepare cell lysates for WB or subsequent total cell lysate fractionation. A fraction of transfected cells were seeded onto 4-well chamber slides. Cells on the slides were fixed 48-hr post transfection for IFM studies.

Three sections per mouse (n = 5–6) were stained using anti- TGF-β1 antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-IL-6 antibody or anti-Mac3 (BD Pharmingen, San Jose, CA, USA) followed by fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated secondary antibody. Double staining was performed using anti-smooth muscle actin (SMA, DAKO, Hamburg, Germany) or anti-MPO antibody (Neomarkers, Thermo Fisher Scientifics, Schwerte, Germany), followed by Cy3-conjugated secondary antibody (DAKO, Hamburg, Germany). The images were made using DISKUS (Hilgers, Königswinter, Germany). The contrast amplification and overlay were performed using DISKUS (Hilgers, Königswinter, Germany).

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.
