Anti-hIL-6-IgG (clone 3H3) is a monoclonal antibody (mAb) specific for human interleukin 6 (hIL-6). It is produced in hybridomas and purified by affinity chromatography. This antibody has been selected for its ability to efficiently neutralize the biological activity of hIL-6. IL-6 is a multifunctional cytokine that plays an important role in the regulation of the immune response, hematopoiesis, and inflammation [1, 2].

Dose-dependent inhibition of IL-6 response using Anti-hIL-6-IgG neutralizing antibody in HEK-Blue™ IL-6 cells. Anti-hIL-6-IgG was incubated with 1 ng/ml of hIL-6 for 30 minutes prior to the addition of HEK‑Blue™ IL-6 cells. After overnight incubation, SEAP activity was assessed using QUANTI-Blue™ Solution. Data are shown in percentage (%) of neutralization.

Details

The proinflammatory cytokine interleukin 6 (IL-6) is one of the most important mediators of fever and of the acute phase response [1, 2]. IL-6 exerts its action by first binding to the IL-6 receptor (IL-6R). The complex of IL-6 and IL-6R associates with the signal-transducing membrane protein gp130, thereby inducing its dimerization.
This leads to the activation by phosphorylation of the tyrosine kinases of the Janus family (JAK1, JAK2, and Tyk2). Activated JAKs induce dimerization and translocation to the nucleus of STAT3 where it binds enhancer elements of IL-6-inducible genes [3].
In HEK-Blue™ IL-6 cells activation of the JAK/STAT3 pathway with IL-6 leads to the production of the secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) reporter.
