Introduction
Il-6 is a cytokine with a wide variety of
biological functions: it plays an essential role in the final differentiation of b-cells into ig-secreting cells, it induces myeloma and plasmacytoma growth, it induces nerve cells differentiation, in hepatocytes it induces acute phase reactants.
Clone
PAT1H6AT.
Physical Appearance
Sterile filtered colorless solution.
Immunogen
Anti-human IL-6, clone PAT1H6AT mAb, is derived from hybridization of mouse F0 myeloma cells with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with a recombinant human IL-6 protein 30-212 amino acids purified from E. coli.
Ig Subclass
Mouse IgG2a heavy chain and k light chain.
Purification Method
IL-6 antibody was purified from mouse ascitic fluids by protein-G affinity chromatography.
Formulation
1mg/ml containing PBS, pH-7.4, 10% Glycerol and 0.02% Sodium Azide.
Storage Procedures
For periods up to 1 month store at 4°C, for longer periods of time, store at -20°C.
