Used in research and therapeutic development for targeting interleukin-6 (IL-6), a key cytokine involved in inflammation and immune responses. This antibody is particularly valuable in studying autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and inflammatory bowel disease, where IL-6 signaling contributes to disease progression. It enables precise detection and neutralization of IL-6 in biological samples, supporting drug discovery and validation of IL-6 pathway inhibitors. Due to its high specificity, it is also employed in diagnostic assays and biomarker studies. Its role in modulating IL-6 activity makes it a tool of interest in cancer research, especially in malignancies linked to chronic inflammation or IL-6-dependent cell growth.
