Intended Uses: This ELISA kit applies to the in vitro quantitative determination of Rat IL-6 concentrations in serum, plasma and other biological fluids.
Principle of the Assay: This ELISA kit uses the Sandwich-ELISA principle. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Rat IL-6. Standards or samples are added to the micro ELISA plate wells and combined with the specific antibody. Then a biotinylated detection antibody specific for Rat IL-6 and Avidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate are added successively to each micro plate well and incubated. Free components are washed away. The substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain Rat IL-6, biotinylated detection antibody and Avidin-HRP conjugate will appear blue in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of stop solution and the color turns yellow. The optical density (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm +/- 2 nm. The OD value is proportional to the concentration of Rat IL-6. You can calculate the concentration of Rat IL-6 in the samples by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.!!Background/Introduction: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a multifactorial pro-inflammatory cytokine belonging to the family of IL-1 cytokines. It is produced by different types of cells, including activated macrophages, monocytes, fibroblasts, activated T lymphocytesand B lymphocytes, endothelial cells, as well as cancer cells. IL-6 mediates several important physiological functions including control of the acute phase response during inflammation, production of adhesion molecules and induction of secretion of other inflammation mediators such as tumor necrosis factor. IL-6 may also mediate carcinogenesis by several mechanisms, including stimulation of cell proliferation, reduction of apoptosis, alteration of enzymes involved in tumor invasion and promotion of bone metastases [1]. IL-6 is also one of the factors that may contribute to increased growth of prostate cancer cells in the absence of androgens by activation of androgen receptor [2]. IL-6 can also contribute to the transformation of benign prostate cells into malignant cells and promote epithelial mesenchymal transition [3]. The levels of IL-6 also correlate with prostate tumor burden, serum prostatespecific antigen and metastasis.

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 IL-6 il6 (Catalog #AAA2515034) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA2515034 ELISA Kit recognizes Rat IL-6. 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
