Immunohistochemistry: This antibody stained formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections of human cervical squamous cell carcinoma. The recommended concentration is 0.125 ug/ml with an overnight incubation at 4°C. An HRP-labeled polymer detection system was used with a DAB chromogen. Heat induced antigen retrieval with a pH 6 sodium citrate buffer is recommended. Optimal concentrations and conditions may vary. Tissue samples were provided by the Cooperative Human Tissue Network, which is funded by the National Cancer Institute. *Additional Immunostaining data available. Please contact Tech Support for information. ELISA: In a sandwich ELISA (assuming 100 ul/well), a concentration of 4-8 ug/ml of this antibody will detect at least 500 pg/ml of recombinant human IL-6 when used with biotinylated antigen affinity purified anti-human IL-6 (
LS-C104546) as the detection antibody at a concentration of approximately 0.5-1 ug/ml. Western Blot: To detect hIL-6 by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.20-0.40 ug/ml. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant hIL-6 is 0.5-1 ng/lane, under reducing or non-reducing conditions.
