Vector Labs Ab00737-23.0 Anti-IL-6 receptor [rhPM-1 (Tocilizumab)], Rabbit IgG, kappa (200 μg) Centrifuge Bundle Savings at Sycamore Life Sciences

Description

Product Class: Purified
Clone ID: rhPM-1 (Tocilizumab)
Synonyms: IL6R; IL-6R; CD126; MRA; atlizumab; TCZ; Interleukin-6 receptor subunit alpha; IL-6 receptor subunit alpha; IL-6R subunit alpha; IL-6R-alpha; IL-6RA; IL-6R 1; Membrane glycoprotein 80; gp80; PM1; PM-1
Amount: 200 μg
Application Codes Clone: ELISA; inhibit
Shipping Temperature: Wet Ice
Buffer Composition: PBS with 0.02% Proclin 300.
Original Format: IgG1
Storage Temperature: Store at 4⁰C for up to 3 months. For longer storage, aliquot and store at -20⁰C.
Chimeric Use Statement: This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Human IgG1 format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
Specificity Statement: Tocilizumab binds specifically to both the membrane bound and soluble forms of human IL-6R. The IL6 receptor is a protein complex consisting of an IL-6 receptor subunit (IL6R) and interleukin 6 signal transducer Glycoprotein 130. Interleukin 6 (IL6) is a potent pleiotropic cytokine that regulates cell growth and differentiation and plays an important role in immune response.
Application Notes: This antibody is derived from the parental mouse clone PM-1 (PM1). Tocilizumab (TCZ) binds and neutralizes IL-6R, resulting in the inhibition of various IL-6-mediated biological activities, including inflammation-related, immunomodulatory and tissue/matrix remodelling effects. This antibody is extensively explored for its therapeutic potential in treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (PMID: 25099958; 9836380). Tocilizumab can be used in ELISA assays and is able to inhibit the growth of IL-6-dependent tumor cell lines. It inhibits sIL-6R and mIL-6R-mediated signaling. A study reported that a combination of tocilizumab and methotrexate (MTX) results in greater inhibition of joint damage and improvement in physical function than does MTX alone (PMID: 21360490). Treatment with tocilizumab results in significant improvement, maintained over time, of polyarticular-course juvenile idiopathic arthritis (pcJIA) signs and symptoms and has a safety profile consistent with that for adults with rheumatoid arthritis (PMID: 24834925). The original antibody was used for an in vivo study on ALS. Here they showed that this antibody does not affect all patients the same way. Here it was shown that the antibody lowers inflammation in patients with high inflammation and increases inflammation in patients with low inflammation (Fiala et al., 2013; PMID:23844337). tocilizumab inhibited both the transcription and secretion of cytokines and chemokines induced by apo-G37R. This showed powerful effects on the inflammation in ALS PMBC (Mizwicki et al., 2012; PMID: 23383400)
