mAb anti-Human IL-6

Human IL-6

Reactive with recombinant human IL-6

F0

IL-6, also called B-cell stimulatory factor-2 (BSF-2), is an important cytokine for the differentiation of B-cells into immunoglobulin-secreting cells. IL-6 is mainly produced by T-cells, macrophages and endothelial cells in response to pathogenic molecular stimuli during infection, trauma and the growth phase of some types of cancer. IL-6 is up-regulated by the binding of Toll-like receptors to antigen pattern ligands. In acute inflammatory phase, IL-6 causes increased body temperature by initiating synthesis of Prostaglandin E2 in hypothalamus.

Double distillated water is recommended to reconstitute the antibody.
