Human Interleukin 6 (IL-6) ELISA Kit | KTE62503

Product Overwiew:

This Human Interleukin 6 (IL-6) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate IL6.

Background:

IL-6 is a multifunctional protein produced by lymphoid and non-lymphoid cells, and by normal and transformed cells, including T cells, monocyte/macrophages, fibroblasts, hepatocytes, vascular endothelial cells, cardiac myxomas, bladder cell carcinomas, myelomas, astrogliomas and glioblastomas. The production of IL-6 in these various cells is regulated, either positively or negatively, by a variety of signals including mitogens, antigenic stimulation, lipopolysaccharides, IL-1, TNF, PDGF and viruses. On the basis of its various activities, IL-6 has also been called interferon-β2 (IFN-β2), 26 kDa protein, B-cell stimulatory factor-2 (BSF-2), hybridoma/plasmacytoma growth factor, hepatocyte stimulating factor, cytotoxic T-cell differentiation factor, and macrophage-granulocyte inducing factor 2A (MGI-2A).

Application:

This Human Interleukin 6 (IL-6) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate IL6 in samples. An antibody specific for IL6 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyIL6 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for IL6 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of IL6 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

Used for:

ELISA

Features & Benefits:

Human Interleukin 6 (IL-6) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human IL6. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human IL6 and analogues was observed.

Usage Notes:

• Do not mix components from different kit lots or use reagents beyond the kit expiration date.
• Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
• Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
• Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 °C in the sealed bag provided.
• Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
• It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.
