The 15A7 monoclonal antibody reacts with the mouse IL-6 receptor α chain also known as CD126. CD126 is an 80 kDa type I cytokine receptor and a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. CD126 is expressed by activated T and B lymphocytes, monocytes, hepatocytes, and plasma cells. The IL-6 receptor α chain binds IL-6 but requires association with gp130 to initiate signal transduction. Upon IL-6 binding the IL-6R complex influences antigen-specific immune responses, inflammatory responses, neuronal development, and is a major mediator of the acute phase reaction. The 15A7 monoclonal antibody has been shown to block the binding of IL-6 to the IL-6 receptor.
