Scientific Data Images for Human/Primate IL‑6 Biotinylated Antibody

IL-6 antibody in Human PBMCs by Immunocytochemistry (ICC).

IL‑6 in Human PBMCs.

IL-6 was detected in immersion fixed human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) stimulated with LPS and monensin using Human/Primate IL-6 Biotinylated Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # BAF206) at 10 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Streptavidin (red; Catalog # NL999) and counterstained with DAPI (blue).

Differences in Functional Profiles between Three Patients with Different Clinical Outcomesgp100 209–2M spots co-spotted with anti-IFN gamma, anti-TNF alpha, anti-IL1b, and anti-IL-6 are shown for three separate patient samples. Patient 10735, who remains free of disease at this writing, displays strong IFN gamma, TNF alpha, IL-1b, and IL-6 secretion. Patients 10710 and 10737 show strong IFN gamma secretion, but weak to no TNF alpha, IL-1b, and IL-6 secretion; both patients experienced disease recurrence soon after these samples were drawn. Note the diffuse pattern of IL-1b and IL-6 capture, which differs from the focal capture of IFN gamma and TNF alpha.

Background: IL-6

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic, alpha -helical, phosphorylated and variably glycosylated cytokine that plays important roles in the acute phase reaction, inflammation, hematopoiesis, bone metabolism, and cancer progression. Mature human IL-6 is 183 amino acids (aa) in length expressed as a 22-28 kDA molecular weight protein. IL-6 shares 39% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat IL-6. Alternative splicing generates several isoforms with internal deletions, some of which exhibit antagonistic properties. IL-6 induces signaling through a cell surface heterodimeric receptor complex composed of a ligand binding subunit (IL-6 R alpha) and a signal transducing subunit (gp130). IL-6 binds to IL-6 R alpha, triggering IL-6 R alpha association with gp130 and gp130 dimerization. gp130 is also a component of the receptors for CLC, CNTF, CT-1, IL-11, IL-27, LIF, and OSM. Soluble forms of IL-6 R alpha are generated by both alternative splicing and proteolytic cleavage. In a mechanism known as trans-signaling, complexes of soluble IL-6 and IL-6 R alpha elicit responses from gp130-expressing cells that lack cell surface IL-6 R alpha. Trans-signaling enables a wider range of cell types to respond to IL-6, as the expression of gp130 is ubiquitous, while that of IL-6 R alpha is predominantly restricted to hepatocytes, monocytes, and resting lymphocytes. Soluble splice forms of gp130 block trans-signaling from IL-6/IL-6 R alpha but not from other cytokines that use gp130 as a co-receptor. IL-6, along with TNF-alpha and IL-1, function to drive the acute inflammatory response and the transition from acute inflammation to either acquired immunity or chronic inflammatory disease. When dysregulated, it contributes to chronic inflammation in obesity, insulin resistance, inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis, sepsis, and atherosclerosis. IL-6 can also function as an anti-inflammatory molecule, as in skeletal muscle where it is secreted in response to exercise. In addition, it enhances hematopoietic stem cell proliferation and the differentiation of Th17 cells, memory B cells, and plasma cells.
