Specificity

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

Immunogen

Recombinant ovine IL-6

Application

Anti-Interleukin-6 Antibody is an antibody against Interleukin-6 for use in ELISA & WB.
Detecting antibody in ELISA, using monoclonal anti-ovine IL-6 as capture antibody. Recommended dilution factor 1:500. See suggested protocol.

Western Blot

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 sulphuric 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.

A fetal inflammatory response (FIR) in sheep can be induced by intraamniotic or selective exposure of the fetal lung or gut to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The oral, nasal, and pharyngeal cavities (ONP) contain lymphoid tissue and epithelium that are in contact

We tested the hypothesis that interleukin 1 (IL-1) mediates intra-amniotic lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced chorioamnionitis in preterm fetal sheep. Time-mated Merino ewes with singleton fetuses received IL-1α, LPS, or saline (control) by intra-amniotic injection 1 to 2 days before operative delivery at

Histologic chorioamnionitis, frequently associated with preterm births and adverse outcomes, results in prolonged exposure of preterm fetuses to infectious agents and pro-inflammatory mediators, such as LPS. Endotoxin tolerance-type effects were demonstrated in fetal sheep following repetitive systemic or intra-amniotic (i.a.)

Chorioamnionitis, clinically most frequently associated with Ureaplasma, is linked to intestinal inflammation and subsequent gut injury. No treatment is available to prevent chorioamnionitis-driven adverse intestinal outcomes. Evidence is increasing that plant sterols possess immune-modulatory properties. Therefore, we investigated the potential
