Background of IL-6
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL6 gene. IL-6 is an interleukin that acts as both a pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine. It is secreted by T cells and macrophages to stimulate immune response to trauma, especially burns or other tissue damage leading to inflammation. IL-6 is one of the most important mediators of fever and of the acute phase response. IL-6 is also essential for hybridoma growth and is found in many supplemental cloning media such as briclone. Bowcock et al. (1988) assigned the IL6 gene to chromosome 7p21. By in situ hybridization and Southern blot analysis of mouse-human hybrid cell lines, Sutherland et al. (1988) mapped the IL-6 gene to chromosome 7p15.

Figure 1. Western blot analysis of IL-6 using anti-IL-6 antibody (RP1012).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours.
Lane 1: recombinant human IL6 protein 10 ng,
Lane 2: recombinant human IL6 protein 5 ng.
After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane at 150 mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% non-fat milk/TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-IL-6 antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # RP1012) at 0.5 μg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:5000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (Catalog # EK1002) with Tanon 5200 system.

3 Customer Q&As for Anti-Interleukin-6 IL6 Antibody Picoband®
Question
We are currently using anti-IL6 antibody RP1012 for human tissue, and we are content with the WB results. The species of reactivity given in the datasheet says human. Is it true that the antibody can work on horse tissues as well?
Verified Customer

Asked: 2019-10-28
Answer
The anti-IL6 antibody (RP1012) has not been validated for cross reactivity specifically with horse tissues, but there is a good chance of cross reactivity. We have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in horse you can get your next antibody for free. Please contact me if I can help you with anything.

Question
We have been able to see staining in human lung. Any tips? Is anti-IL6 antibody supposed to stain lung positively?
Verified Customer

Asked: 2018-04-12
Answer
From literature lung does express IL6. From Uniprot.org, IL6 is expressed in left coronary artery, fibroblast, lung, among other tissues. Regarding which tissues have IL6 expression, here are a few articles citing expression in various tissues:
Fibroblast, Pubmed ID: 3758081
Lung, Pubmed ID: 15489334

Question
My team were happy with the WB result of your anti-IL6 antibody. However we have seen positive staining in fibroblast secreted. using this antibody. Is that expected? Could you tell me where is IL6 supposed to be expressed?
