IL-6 Antibody IL6/4642 recognizes interleukin 6 (IL-6), a secreted cytokine encoded by the IL6 gene that participates in immune regulation, inflammation, hematopoiesis, and the acute-phase response. IL-6 was independently identified through several biological activities and was historically known by names including interferon beta-2, B cell stimulatory factor 2 (BSF-2), and hepatocyte-stimulating factor. These diverse early descriptions reflect the broad biological functions now attributed to IL-6.
IL-6 signaling begins when the cytokine binds IL6R (CD126), followed by association with the signal-transducing receptor component gp130 (IL6ST/CD130). Formation of this 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 in a process known as trans-signaling, allowing IL-6 responses to extend to cells that express gp130 but lack membrane-bound IL6R.
IL-6 influences numerous immune and physiological processes, including B-cell differentiation, T-cell responses, hematopoietic regulation, and hepatic production of acute-phase proteins. Production of IL-6 can increase rapidly in response to infection, tissue injury, and inflammatory stimuli. Persistent or dysregulated IL-6 signaling is consequently studied in chronic inflammatory and autoimmune conditions as well as cancer, where the cytokine can contribute to interactions among immune cells, stromal cells, and malignant cells.
Clone IL6/4642 is a mouse monoclonal antibody generated against recombinant human IL6 protein. The antibody has also been evaluated on a HuProt protein microarray containing more than 19,000 full-length human proteins to assess target specificity. As an Interferon Beta-2 Antibody, clone IL6/4642 provides a defined reagent for investigating the cytokine historically identified as interferon beta-2 and its diverse roles in immune and inflammatory signaling. NSJ Bioreagents supplies IL6/4642 for research use only.
An IL-6 Antibody can be used to investigate IL6 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.
Optimal dilution of the IL-6 Antibody IL6/4642 / Interferon Beta-2 Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A recombinant partial protein sequence (within amino acids 1-200) from the human protein was used as the immunogen for the IL-6 Antibody IL6/4642.
