Purification

Antigen Affinity-purified

Immunogen

S. frugiperda insect ovarian cell line Sf 21-derived recombinant human IL-6R alpha
Leu20-Asp358
Accession # P08887

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS with Trehalose. *Small pack size (SP) is supplied as a 0.2 µm filtered solution in PBS.

Endotoxin Level

<0.10 EU per 1 μg of the antibody by the LAL method.

Label

Unconjugated

Applications

Recommended Concentration

Sample

Western Blot

0.1 µg/mL

See below

Neutralization

Measured by its ability to neutralize IL-6R alpha-mediated inhibition of proliferation in the M1 mouse myeloid leukemia cell line. The Neutralization Dose (ND₅₀) is typically 0.2-1.6 µg/mL in the presence of 30 ng/mL Recombinant Human IL-6R alpha and 30 ng/mL Recombinant Human IL‑6.

Please Note: Optimal dilutions should be determined by each laboratory for each application. General Protocols are available in the Technical Information section on our website.

Data Examples

Western Blot

Detection of Recombinant Human IL-6R alpha by Western Blot. Western blot shows 5 ng of Recombinant Human IL-6R alpha (Catalog # 227-SR), Recombinant Mouse IL-6R alpha (Catalog # 1830-SR) and Recombinant Rat IL-6 R. PVDF Membrane was probed with 0.1 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human IL-6R alpha Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-227-NA) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF109). A specific band was detected for IL-6R alpha at approximately 50 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 3.

Neutralization

View Larger

IL-6R alpha Enhancement of IL‑6‑dependent Inhibition of Cell Proliferation and Neutralization by Human IL-6R alpha Antibody. Recombinant Human IL-6R alpha (Catalog # 227-SR) enhances Recombinant Human IL-6 (Catalog # 206-IL) inhibition of proliferation in the M1 mouse myeloid leukemia cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Enhancement of Recombinant Human IL-6 (30 ng/mL) activity elicited by Recombinant Human IL-6R alpha (30 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Goat Anti-Human IL-6R alpha Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-227-NA). The ND₅₀is typically 0.2-1.6 µg/mL.

Background: IL-6R alpha

The multi-functional factor interleukin 6 (IL-6) exerts its activities through binding to a high-affinity receptor complex consisting of two membrane glycoproteins: an 80 kDa component receptor that binds IL-6 with low affinity (IL-6 R alpha ) and a signal-transducing component of 130 kDa (gp130) that does not bind IL-6 by itself, but is required for high-affinity binding of IL-6 by the complex. Both components of the receptor complex, IL-6 R alpha and gp130 have been cloned, sequenced, and expressed (1-4).

A soluble form of the IL-6 R alpha has been found in the urine of healthy adult humans (5). This soluble receptor apparently arises from proteolytic cleavage of membrane-bound IL-6 R alpha and is about 50kDa in size. No naturally-occurring mRNA encoding a truncated form of the IL-6 R alpha has been reported. Soluble forms of human and murine IL-6 R alpha s have been constructed, however, by insertion of termination codons into the regions of the IL-6 R alpha cDNAs encoding the external portions of the receptors and prior to the transmembrane domains. These soluble receptors have been expressed in COS-7 and CHO cells and have been shown to bind to IL-6 in solution and to augment the activity of IL-6 as a result of the binding of the IL-6/IL-6 R alpha complex to membrane-bound gp130 (6, 7).
