    Predicted band size: 23 kDa
    Observed band size: 25 kDa
    why is the actual band size different from the predicted?
    Additional bands at: 40 kDa (possible non-specific binding)



    This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation (ab233706).

    Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab233706 observed at 25 kDa. Red - loading control ab7291 (Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A] observed at 55kDa.

    ab233706 was shown to react with IL-6 in wild-type A549 cells in western blot with loss of signal observed in IL-6 knockout sample. Wild-type A549 and IL-6 knockout cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membranes were blocked in fluorescent western blot (TBS-based) blocking solution before incubation with ab233706 and ab7291 (Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A] overnight at 4°C at a 1 in 1000 Dilution and a 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were incubated with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

    Flow cytometric analysis of 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed, 90% methanol-permeabilized HUVEC (human umbilical vein endothelial cell line) treated with lipopolysaccharide (0.5 μg/ml) for 24h and Brefeldin A (300 ng/ml) for 20h (red) / untreated control (green) cells  labeling IL6 with ab233706 at 1/500 compared with a Rabbit monoclonal IgG (ab172730) (black) and an unlabeled control (cells without incubation with primary antibody and secondary antibody) (blue). Goat anti rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488, ab150077), at 1/2000 dilution was used as the secondary antibody.

    This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab233706).

    IL6 was immunoprecipitated from 0.35 mg HUVEC (human umbilical vein endothelial cell line) treated with lipopolysaccharide (0.5 µg/ml) for 24h and Brefeldin A (300 ng/ml) for 20h, whole cell lysate with ab233706 at 1/30 dilution. Western blot was performed from the immunoprecipitate using ab233706 at 1/1000 dilution. VeriBlot for IP Detection Reagent (HRP) (ab131366), was used for detection at 1/10000 dilution.

    Lane 1: HUVEC treated with lipopolysaccharide (0.5 µg/ml) for 24h and Brefeldin A (300 ng/ml) for 20h, whole cell lysate 10 µg (Input).
    Lane 2: ab233706 IP in HUVEC treated with lipopolysaccharide (0.5 µg/ml) for 24h and Brefeldin A (300 ng/ml) for 20h, whole cell lysate.
    Lane 3: Rabbit monoclonal IgG (ab172730) instead of ab233706 in HUVEC treated with lipopolysaccharide (0.5 µg/ml) for 24h and Brefeldin A (300 ng/ml) for 20h, whole cell lysate.

    Blocking and dilution buffer and concentration: 5% NFDM/TBST.
    Exposure time: 5 seconds.
