      Recommended Assay Procedures

      ELISA:  Purified Rat Anti-Mouse IL-6 antibody (Cat. No. 554400 or 554398) can be useful as a capture antibody for sandwich ELISA measuring mouse IL-6 protein levels.  Purified Rat Anti-Mouse IL-6 antibody can be paired with Biotin Rat Anti-Mouse IL-6 antibody (Cat. No. 554402, clone MP5-32C11) as the detecting antibody, with recombinant mouse IL-6 (Cat. No. 554582) as the standard.  For testing mouse IL-6 in complex biological samples, such as serum or plasma, investigators are highly encouraged to use the BD OptEIA™ Mouse IL-6 ELISA Set (Cat. No 555240) or BD OptEIA™ Mouse IL-6 ELISA Kit (Cat. No. 550950).

      NA/LE
      NA/LE refers to the culture and purification methods and buffer used to produce purified antibodies with no azide and low endotoxin: Aqueous buffered solution containing no preservative, 0.2µm sterile filtered. Endotoxin level is ≤0.01 EU/µg (≤0.001 ng/µg) of protein as determined by the LAL assay.NA/LE are perfectly suited to be used in culture or in vivo (for nonhuman studies) for functional assays — blocking, neutralizing, activation or depletion — where the presence of azide may damage cells or exogenous endotoxin may signal or activate cells.
