IL6 Antibody recognizes interleukin 6 (IL-6), a secreted cytokine that plays important roles in inflammation, immune regulation, hematopoiesis, and the acute-phase response. Encoded by the IL6 gene, the protein was independently characterized through several biological activities and was historically known as B cell stimulatory factor 2 (BSF-2), interferon beta-2, and hepatocyte-stimulating factor. These early names reflect the diverse biological effects of IL-6 on immune cells and other tissues.
IL-6 initiates signaling by binding IL6R (CD126), followed by association with the signal-transducing receptor component gp130 (IL6ST/CD130). Formation of the receptor complex activates intracellular pathways including JAK-STAT, particularly STAT3, as well as MAPK and PI3K-AKT signaling. IL-6 can signal through membrane-bound IL6R or through soluble IL6R by trans-signaling, allowing the cytokine to influence cells that express gp130 but lack membrane-bound IL6R.
IL-6 contributes to B-cell differentiation, T-cell responses, hematopoietic regulation, and hepatic production of acute-phase proteins. Its production can increase rapidly following infection, tissue injury, and inflammatory stimulation. Persistent or dysregulated IL-6 activity is studied in chronic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and cancer, making the cytokine an important subject for research into mechanisms connecting immune activation with disease-associated signaling.
This rabbit polyclonal antibody was generated against a peptide corresponding to amino acids 27-55 of human IL-6. As a BSF-2 Antibody, it provides a reagent for investigating the cytokine historically identified as B cell stimulatory factor 2 and its roles in inflammatory and immune signaling. NSJ Bioreagents supplies this antibody for research use only.
An IL6 Antibody can be used to investigate interleukin 6 expression and molecular mechanisms connecting cytokine signaling, immune activation, acute-phase responses, and inflammatory disease.
For additional validated antibodies targeting this important inflammatory cytokine, visit our IL6 Antibody / Pro-Inflammatory Cytokine Marker page featuring complementary reagents for studies of cytokine signaling, immune activation, and inflammation-associated disease processes.
Titration of the IL6 Antibody / BSF-2 Antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
A portion of amino acids 27-55 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for this IL6 Antibody.
Aliquot the IL6 Antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
