Cell Signalling

Product Name:

IL-6 (D3K2N) Rabbit antibody

Catalog Number:

12153

Present study was designed to test the effect of different treatment on tissue specific IL-6 levels in diabetic rats. Proteins from rat aorta, liver, muscle, heart, Kidney and retina were extracted and an equal amount of proteins were resolved in 10% SDS-PAGE. Resolved proteins were immunoblotted for IL-6 and after anti species HRP-conjugated secondary antibody incubation, blots were developed using enhanced chemiluminescent reagent. Although, no species reactivity of antibody with rat was mentioned in antibody flyer, based on previous experience with cell signaling technology antibody was selected.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Rat tissue protein lysate

Primary Incubation

Overnight at 4 0C (5% Skimmed milk in TBS with 0.1% Tween 20; dilution 1:1000)

Blocking Agent

5 % Skimmed milk in TBS with 0.1% Tween 20 (for 1hr at RT)

Secondary Incubation

2hr at RT (5% skimmed milk in TBS with 0.1% Tween 20; dilution 1:4000)

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

ECL

Results Summary

Although, antibody flyer does not mention antibody reactivity with rat proteins, strong, very specific and bright bands of IL-6 were observed at nearly 24KDa. This indicated that antibody is also reactive to rat proteins. Few non specific bands at higher molecular weight were also observed.

Additional Notes

The Bad

Presence of some non specific band

The Bottom Line

Highly specific of Cell Signalling antibody for IL-6
