Quick Overview for Recombinant IL-6 Receptor antibody (ABIN7072548)

Target: IL-6 Receptor (IL6R) (Interleukin 6 Receptor (IL6R))

Antibody Type: Recombinant Antibody

Reactivity: Mouse

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Chimeric

Conjugate: This IL-6 Receptor antibody is un-conjugated

Clone: D7715A7

Product Details anti-IL-6 Receptor Antibody

Purpose: Anti-IL-6R [D7715A7], Rabbit IgG, kappa

Specificity: This antibody is specific for murine IL-6R.

Characteristics:

Original Species of Ab: Rat

Original Format of Ab: IgG2b

Purification: Protein A affinity purified

Immunogen: This antibody was raised by immunising Lewis rats with OKT4 cells.

Isotype: IgG kappa

Application Details

Application Notes: This antibody binds to IL-6R-positive cells, and blocks IL-6 binding (Vink et al, 1990, Coulie et al, 1990). This antibody is able to inhibit the growth of IL6-dependent plasmacytoma T1033C2 in vitro (Coulie et al, 1990). Administration of this antibody to mice prior to challenge with T1033C2 resulted in a protection rate of 60 % and prolonged survival in tumour-bearing mice (Vink et al, 1990). This antibody has been used in flow cytometry to assess IL-6Ra expression (Hoge et al, 2013). When added to dendritic cells subject to CD40 activation in vitro, this antibody neutralises IL-6 and ablates the effect of CD40 activation (Grohmann et al, 2001).

Comment:

This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Rat IgG2b format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
