CD126, also known as IL-6R alpha, is a transmembrane protein that forms part of the IL-6 receptor complex. This receptor complex is essential for mediating the biological effects of IL-6, a cytokine involved in various physiological processes, including immune responses, as well as cell growth and differentiation. IL-6R alpha interacts with glycoprotein 130 (gp130) to facilitate the anti-inflammatory and regenerative activities of IL-6. Additionally, the combination of soluble CD126 and gp130 in serum forms a buffer system that neutralizes the excess levels of blood IL-6 in healthy individuals. Properties Storage Instructions All the reagents are stored at 2-8℃ for 6 months or -20℃ for 12 months. Refer to the protocol for further storage instructions.

For example, if human serum requires a 1,000,000-fold dilution, you can use a three-step 100× dilution method as follows: Step 1: Take 2 uL of human serum and add it to 198 uL of sample diluent, mix thoroughly to obtain a 100-fold diluted sample. Step 2: Take 2 uL of the 100-fold diluted sample and add it to 198 uL of sample diluent, mix thoroughly to obtain a 10,000-fold diluted sample. Step 3: Take 2 uL of the 10,000-fold diluted sample and add it to 198 uL of sample diluent, mix thoroughly to obtain a 1,000,000-fold diluted sample. If further dilution is required, additional serial steps can be used. We do not recommend using any other solutions or water for dilution, except for the sample diluent we suggest. If your sample diluent is still insufficient, please contact our customer service for more sample diluent.
