The Purified Mouse IL-6 Monoclonal Antibody (MP5-20F3) is a specialized tool for researchers studying interleukin-6 (IL-6), a key cytokine involved in inflammatory responses and immune regulation. This monoclonal antibody, derived from mouse sources, exhibits high specificity and sensitivity in binding to IL-6, enabling precise detection and quantification in various experimental settings.IL-6 is a multifunctional cytokine with diverse roles in immune responses, inflammation, and hematopoiesis. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, including autoimmune disorders, cancer, and chronic inflammatory conditions.
The ability to accurately measure IL-6 levels is crucial for understanding its impact on disease pathogenesis and for evaluating potential therapeutic strategies.The MP5-20F3 antibody is validated for use in techniques such as ELISA, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry, providing researchers with a versatile tool for investigating the role of IL-6 in different biological systems. With its high specificity and reliable performance, this monoclonal antibody is an essential component for studies aiming to elucidate the complex functions of IL-6 in health and disease.
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by ELISA assay. For ELISA applications, a concentration range of 0.5 – 2.0 µg/mL is recommended. To obtain a linear standard curve, serial dilutions of mouse IL-6 recombinant protein ranging from 500 to 8 pg/mL are recommended for each ELISA plate. For ELISPOT applications, a concentration range of 4.0 - 8.0 µg/mL is recommended. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.

Background:
IL-6 is a potent lymphoid cell growth factor that stimulates the growth and survivability of certain B cells and T cells. IL-6 plays a role in host defense, acute phase reactions, immune responses, and hematopoiesis. IL-6 is expressed by T cells, B cells, monocytes, fibroblasts, hepatocytes, endothelial cells and keratinocytes.
