TotalSeq™-C0942 anti-human IL-6 Antibody

Product Details

Verified Reactivity

Human

Antibody Type

Monoclonal

Host Species

Rat

Immunogen

COS-7- expressed, recombinant human IL-6

Formulation

Phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing 0.09% sodium azide and EDTA

Preparation

The antibody was purified by chromatography and conjugated with TotalSeq™-C oligomer under optimal conditions.

Concentration

0.5 mg/mL

Storage & Handling

The antibody solution should be stored undiluted between 2°C and 8°C. Do not freeze.

Application

ICPG - Quality tested

Recommended Usage

Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by intracellular immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis and the oligomer sequence is confirmed by sequencing. TotalSeq™-C antibodies are compatible with 10x Genomics Single Cell Gene Expression Solutions.

To maximize performance, it is strongly recommended that the reagent be titrated for each application, and that you centrifuge the antibody dilution before adding to the cells at 14,000xg at 2 - 8°C for 10 minutes. Carefully pipette out the liquid avoiding the bottom of the tube and add to the cell suspension. For Proteogenomics analysis, the suggested starting amount of this reagent for titration is ≤ 0.5 µg per million cells in 100 µL volume. Refer to the corresponding TotalSeq™ protocol for specific staining instructions.

Application Notes

ELISA or ELISPOT Capture^1-3,7: The purified MQ2-13A5 antibody is useful as the capture antibody in a sandwich ELISA or ELISPOT assay, when used in conjunction with the biotinylated MQ2-39C3 antibody (Cat. No. 501202) as the detecting antibody.

Neutralization^1-3,5,6: The Ultra-LEAF™ purified antibody (Endotoxin <0.1 EU/µg, Azide-Free, 0.2 µm filtered) is recommended for neutralization of human IL-6 bioactivity (Cat. No. 501110). The MQ2-13A5 antibody can neutralize the bioactivity of natural or recombinant IL-6.

Additional applications (for the relevant formats) include: intracellular flow cytometry¹⁰.

Additional Product Notes

TotalSeq™ reagents are designed to profile protein levels at a single cell level following an optimized protocol similar to the CITE-seq workflow. A compatible single cell device (e.g. 10x Genomics Chromium System and Reagents) and sequencer (e.g Illumina analyzers) are required. Please contact technical support for more information, or visit biolegend.com/totalseq.

The barcode flanking sequences are CGGAGATGTGTATAAGAGACAGNNNNNNNNNN (PCR handle), and NNNNNNNNNCCCATATAAGA*A*A (capture sequence). N represents either randomly selected A, C, G, or T, and * indicates a phosphorothioated bond, to prevent nuclease degradation.
