Anti-Human IL-6 R - Biotin

IL-6 mediates its biological effects through the type I IL-6 receptor system that consists of two chains, IL-6R alpha and gp130. The IL-6R alpha chain is the binding component specific to IL-6; while the gp130 only transmits signals of IL-6 when bound to IL-6R alpha. The gp130 also can transmit signals from LIF, OSM, CNTF, IL-11 and CT-1 in conjunction with other receptor subunits. The low-affinity binding site for IL-6 is composed of IL-6R alpha alone. IL-6R alpha is expressed in a wide range of cells including T cells, fibroblasts and macrophages. Soluble IL-6R alpha which consists of only the extracellular domain of the IL-6R alpha chain, acts as an agonist of IL-6 activity at low concentrations.

• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Host: Goat
• Reactivity: Human
• Conjugate: Biotin
• Gene: 3570

• Quantity: 50 µg
• Storage: The lyophilized, biotinylated antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody can be stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C for up to twelve months from date of receipt. The reconstituted biotin conjugate can be stored for at least four weeks at 2-8°C. For long-term storage of the reconstituted conjugate, aseptically aliquot into working volumes and store at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles. No detectable loss of activity was observed after six months.
