Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional α-helical cytokine that regulates cell growth and differentiation of various tissues. It particularly plays its role in the immune response and acute phase reactions. IL-6 protein is secreted by a variety of cell types including T cells and macrophages. IL-6 is also involved in hematopoiesis, bone metabolism, and cancer progression, and has been defined as an essential role in directing transition from innate to acquired immunity.
Key Features Novel Proprietary ELISA Approach
Simple: Sample and Detection combined into one step.
Assay Principle
The levels of human IL-6 samples are parallel to the standard curves obtained using the kit standards linearly. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human IL-6 protein.
Principle of Assay Kit Content and Storage Condition Typical Data This standard curve(R2=0.9999) is provided for demonstration only. A standard curve should be generated for each set of samples assayed.
Human IL-6 ELISA Kit is a Solid-phase ELISA for the quantitative determination of IL-6. The microplate is pre-coated with a capture antibody specific to the target. Target present in the sample or standard binds the immobilized antibody, is detected with a biotinylated detection antibody and streptavidin-HRP, and quantified colorimetrically against a standard curve.
Kit Components
The kit provides a pre-coated microplate, target standard for standard-curve generation, detection reagents (detection antibody and enzyme conjugate), wash buffer, substrate, and stop solution. Refer to the product datasheet for the complete component list and quantities.

Safety & Handling
This kit is validated for tissue. Other matrices may require additional in-lab validation.
This assay has a sensitivity of 3.0 pg/mL. Samples reading outside the range should be diluted or concentrated.
The kit provides a pre-coated microplate, target standard for standard-curve generation, detection reagents (detection antibody and enzyme conjugate), wash buffer, substrate, and stop solution. See the datasheet for the full component list and quantities.
A standard microplate reader capable of measuring absorbance at 450 nm is required for this sandwich ELISA.
