From
Recombinant Antibody
Specificity
This antibody recognizes and binds interleukin-6 near the binding site I near the N-terminal part of α-helix 1 and the C-terminal part of α-helix 4 of the four-helix bundle, as well as the long loop between α-helices 1 and 2. This binding interface of 68F2 to a major extent overlaps with site I recognized by IL-6R.
Alternative Names
IL6; IFNB2; BSF-2; CDF; Interleukin-6; IL-6; B-cell stimulatory factor 2; CTL differentiation factor; Hybridoma growth factor; Interferon beta-2; IFN-beta-2
UniProt
P05231
Immunogen
The original antibody was generated by immunizations of Llama glama with recombinant IL-6 followed by construction of phage display library, selection, screeing and purification.
Application Notes
This antibody is recommended for identification of IL-6 in the sample. The ability of this antibody to compete with biotinylated IL-6 for binding to captured IL-6R was investigated using competitive ELISA. The in-vitro potency of the antibody was determined using a cell-based neutralizing bioassay using the B9 and 7TD1 cell line, which require IL-6 for survival and proliferation and respond to very low concentration of IL-6 (PMID: 27129274).
