Principle of the Assay: This assay employs the quantitative sandwich enzyme imrl!..unoassay technique. A monoclonal antibody specific for IL-6 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any IL-6 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. Following incubation unbound samples are removed during a wash step, and then a detection antibody specific for IL-6 is added to the wells and binds to the combination of capture antibody-IL-6 in sample. Following a wash to remove any unbound combination, and enzyme conjugate is added to the wells. Following incubation and wash steps a substrate is added. A coloured product is formed in proportion to the amount of IL-6 present in the sample. The reaction is terminated by addition of acid and absorbance is measured at 450nm. A standard curve is prepared from seven IL-6 standard dilutions and IL-6 sample concentration determined.!!Background/Introduction: Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional cytokine that plays important roles in host defense, acute phase reactions, immune responses, nerve cell functions and hematopoiesis (1-5). IL-6 is a prototypic member of the IL-6 superfamily of cytokines that share gp130 as a component required for signal transduction (4). The rat, mouse and human IL-6 cDNAs have been cloned (6-9). Rat IL-6 cDNA encodes a 211 amino acid (aa) residue precursor polypeptide with a hydrophobic signal peptide that is cleaved to generate the 187 aa residue mature protein. At the protein sequence level, there is approximately 39% identity between rat and human, and 87% identity between mouse and rat IL-6 (6). IL-6 is expressed by a variety of normal and transformed lymphoid and non-lymphoid cells. The production of IL-6 is up-regulated by numerous signals such as mitogenic or antigenic stimulation, lipopolysaccharides, calcium ionophores, cytokines and viruses. IL-4, IL-10 and IL-13 inhibit IL-6 expression in monocytes. Elevated serum IL-6 levels have been observed in a number of pathological conditions, including bacterial and viral infections,trauma, autoimmune diseases, inflammations and malignancies (1-5).

NCBI Description
a cytokine involved in development and possibly in neurodegenerative processes [RGD, Feb 2006]
Uniprot Description
Cytokine with a wide variety of biological functions. It is a potent inducer of the acute phase response. Plays an essential role in the final differentiation of B-cells into Ig-secreting cells Involved in lymphocyte and monocyte differentiation. Acts on B-cells, T-cells, hepatocytes, hematopoietic progenitor cells and cells of the CNS. Required for the generation of T(H)17 cells. Also acts as a myokine. It is discharged into the bloodstream after muscle contraction and acts to increase the breakdown of fats and to improve insulin resistance. It induces myeloma and plasmacytoma growth and induces nerve cells differentiation ().

Product Notes
The IL-6 il6 (Catalog #AAA8506072) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "IL-6, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
