Principle of the Assay: The Picokine™ Rat Il6 Pre-Coated ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is a solid-phase immunoassay specially designed to measure Rat Il6 with a 96-well strip plate that is pre-coated with antibody specific for Il6. The detection antibody is a biotinylated antibody specific for Il6. The capture antibody is polyclonal antibody from goat and the detection antibody is polyclonal antibody from goat. The kit contains recombinant Rat Il6 with immunogen: Expression system for standard: E.coli; Immunogen sequence: F25-T211. The kit is analytically validated with ready-to-use reagents. To measure Rat Il6, add standards and samples to the wells, then add the biotinylated detection antibody. Wash the wells with PBS or TBS buffer, and add Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex (ABC-HRP). Wash away the unbounded ABC-HRP with PBS or TBS buffer and add TMB. TMB is an HRP substrate and will be catalyzed to produce a blue color product, which changes into yellow after adding the acidic stop solution. The absorbance of the yellow product at 450nm is linearly proportional to Rat Il6 in the sample. Read the absorbance of the yellow product in each well using a plate reader, and benchmark the sample wells' readings against the standard curve to determine the concentration of Rat Il6 in the sample.

Background/Introduction: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL6 gene. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is involved not only in the hepatic acute phase response but also in adipose tissue metabolism, lipoprotein lipase activity, and hepatic triglyceride secretion. IL-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine that plays a critical role in bone resorption. IL-6 has been suggested to stimulate the HPA axis during immune activation independent of the input of hypothalamic corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an immunoregulatory cytokine that activates a cell-surface signaling assembly composed of IL-6, the IL-6 alpha-receptor (IL-6Ralpha), and the shared signaling receptor gp130. The standard product used in this kit is recombinant rat IL-6, consisting of 188 amino acids with the molecular mass of 21.8kDa.

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 Rat IL6 il6 (Catalog #AAA175908) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA175908 ELISA Kit recognizes Rat IL6. 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.
