- Specificity
ab6672 detects a band at 25 kDa in human lung tissue lysate and mouse spleen tissue lysate, however the signal in mouse tissue is significantly lower. It also binds strongly to a protein at ~55 kDa in human lung tissue extracts, which we believe represents a glycosylated form of IL6. ab6672 also detects several bands in human lung tissue lysate within the region of 30-40 kDa. These may represent heteromers of IL6.
Please be aware that this product has low homology with the mouse and rat sequence of IL6 (Rat, 40%; Mouse 41%, UniProt blast) and we therefore cannot guarantee reactivity in these species.- Concentration
- Purification notes
Anti-IL-6 antiserum detects recombinant and native IL-6 present in body fluids and cell supernatants in various assays (ie. IL-1 stimulated IL-6 production from fibroblasts).
