Gene Information

sheep ... Il6(443406)

Specificity

Reacts with ovine IL-6. No reactivity detected to recombinant ovine IL-1beta, IL-8, MCP or TNFalpha.

SPECIES REACTIVITY:

The antibody is likely to react with caprine (goat) IL-6.

Immunogen

Recombinant ovine IL-6

Application

Capture antibody in ELISA. Recommended coating concentration 5 μg/mL. See suggested protocol.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Suggested ELISA Protocol For Ovine IL-6

1. Coat high capacity microtitre wells (e.g. Nunc maxisorp) with monoclonal anti-IL-6 antibody (Chemicon Catalog Number MAB1004) at a concentration of 5 μg/mL in 0.1 M carbonate buffer pH 9.6 overnight at 4ºC.

2. Wash wells 3 x with PBS + 0.05% Tween 20 (PBST).

3. Add samples to wells. Incubate at room temperature in a humidified box for 1 hour. Wash 3 x with PBST.

4. Dilute rabbit anti-IL-6 (Chemicon Catalog Number AB1839) 1:500 in PBST and add 100 μL to wells. Incubate at room temperature for 30 minutes. Wash 3 x with PBST.

5. Dilute anti-rabbit IgG-HRP to appropriate level in PBST and add 100 μL to wells. Incubate 30 minutes at room temperature. Wash 3 x with PBST.

6. Add 100 μL of TMB chromagen to each well. Incubate for 5-10 minutes and stop reaction with 50 μL of 2M sulfuric acid.

Notes:

The anti-rabbit IgG HRP must be adsorbed against mouse immunoglobulin, and should be checked for non-reactivity with coated plates.

Non-specific binding may be reduced by addition of protein such as skim milk powder to the diluents.

Assay sensitivity may be altered by adjusting incubation times and reagent concentrations.

Intra-amniotic Candida albicans (C. Albicans) infection is associated with preterm birth and high morbidity and mortality rates. Survivors are prone to adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. The mechanisms leading to these adverse neonatal brain outcomes remain largely unknown. To better understand the
