Neutralization:To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND<sub>50</sub>] of the biological activity of mIL-6 (0.1 ng/ml), a concentration of 0.012 - 0.014 µg/ml of this antibody is required. ELISA:To detect mIL-6 by direct ELISA (using 100µl/well antibody solution) a concentration of at least 0.5µg/ml of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purified antibody, in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, allows the detection of 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant mIL-6. Western Blot:To detect mIL-6 by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1 - 0.2 µg/ml. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant mIL-6 is 1.5 - 3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions
