Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-IL-6 antibody [EPR21711] - BSA and Azide free (AB233707)
Immunofluorescent analysis of 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed, 0.1% Triton X-100 permeabilized HUVEC (human umbilical vein endothelial cell line) cells labeling IL6 with ab233706 at 1/50 dilution, followed by Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150077) secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution (green). Confocal image showing cytoplasmic staining in HUVEC cells treated with lipopolysaccharide (0.5 μg/ml) for 24h and Brefeldin A (300 ng/ml) for 20h. The nuclear counterstain is DAPI (blue). Tubulin is detected with Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker (Alexa Fluor® 594) (ab195889) at 1/200 dilution (red).
Secondary antibody only control : Used PBS instead of primary antibody, secondary antibody is Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150077) secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution.
This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab233706).

Western blot - Anti-IL-6 antibody [EPR21711] - BSA and Azide free (AB233707)
This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation (ab233706).
Lanes 1 - 4 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab233706 observed at 25 kDa. Red - loading control ab7291 (Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A] observed at 55kDa.
ab233706 was shown to react with IL-6 in wild-type A549 cells in western blot with loss of signal observed in IL-6 knockout sample. Wild-type A549 and IL-6 knockout cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membranes were blocked in fluorescent western blot (TBS-based) blocking solution before incubation with ab233706 and ab7291 (Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A] overnight at 4°C at a 1 in 1000 Dilution and a 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were incubated with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Biological function summary
IL-6 influences immune regulation and acts as part of the acute phase response. It stimulates the production of acute-phase proteins and supports the differentiation of B cells into antibody-producing cells. IL-6 is not known to be part of a larger complex acting primarily as a single entity in signal transduction. Moreover IL-6 impacts the metabolism of iron and bone homeostasis showing its multifunctional nature.
Pathways
IL-6 forms an integral part of several signaling routes particularly the JAK-STAT pathway. In this context IL-6 interacts with signal transducer proteins like STAT3 to transmit signals from the cell surface to the nucleus affecting gene expression. Another important pathway is the MAPK pathway through which IL-6 influences cell proliferation and survival. These interactions reflect IL-6's diverse effects in cellular processes.
