Detection of IL-6R alpha in HEK293 cells transfected with hIL-6Ra and eGFP by Flow Cytometry
HEK293 cells transfected with hIL-6Ra and eGFP were stained with Human Anti-Human IL-6R alpha (Research Grade Tocilizumab Biosimilar) Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB11482, filled histogram) followed by Allophycocyanin-conjugated Anti-Human IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0135) or unstained cells (open blue histogram).

IL-6 binding to IL-6Ra transfected HEK293 Human Cell line is Blocked by Human IL-6Ra (Tocilizumab) Antibody.
In a functional flow cytometry test, biotinylated recombinant IL-6 (50ng/mL, BT7270B) binds to HEK293 human embyonic kidney cell line transfected with human IL-6Ra and eGFP. (A) Binding is blocked by 25 ug/mL of Human anti-Human IL-6Ra Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog# MAB11482) or (B) Protein binding only. Protein binding was detected by staining cells with Streptavidin-APC (F0050)
Human IL-6R alpha ELISA Standard Curve
Direct ELISA binding curve demonstrating the recognition of Human Anti-Human IL-6R alpha (Research Grade Tocilizumab Biosimilar) Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB11482) to IL-6R alpha. The target protein was coated onto the microplate well surface, followed by binding of the antibody. A goat anti-human HRP conjugate was used for detection.Applications for Human IL-6R alpha (Research Grade Tocilizumab Biosimilar) Antibody

Background: IL-6R alpha
The multi-functional factor interleukin 6 (IL-6) exerts its activities through binding to a high-affinity receptor complex consisting of two membrane glycoproteins: an 80 kDa component receptor that binds IL-6 with low affinity (IL-6 R alpha) and a signal-transducing component of 130 kDa (gp130) that does not bind IL-6 by itself, but is required for high-affinity binding of IL-6 by the complex (1‑4). Within the extracellular domain, human IL‑6 R alpha shares 52% aa sequence identity with
mouse and rat IL‑6 R alpha.
A soluble form of the IL-6 R alpha has been found in the urine of healthy adult humans (5). This soluble receptor apparently arises from proteolytic cleavage of membrane-bound IL-6 R alpha. No naturally-occurring mRNA encoding a truncated form of the IL-6 R alpha has been reported. Soluble forms of human and murine IL-6 R alphas have been constructed, however, by insertion of termination codons into the regions of the IL-6 R alpha cDNAs encoding the external portions of the receptors and prior to the transmembrane domains. These soluble receptors have been expressed in COS-7 and CHO cells and have been shown to bind to IL-6 in solution and to augment the activity of IL-6 as a result of the binding of the IL‑6/IL‑6 R alpha complex to membrane-bound gp130 (6, 7).
