Mouse IL-6 Assay Kit

Background:Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a cytokine that was discovered as a B-cell differentiation factor. IL-6 is not only an antibody-producing system, but its physiological activities, such as induction of acute-phase protein synthesis in hepatocytes, and growth stimulation based on its synergistic effect with IL-3, etc., have attracted great interest. Associations between IL-6 and pathology have been steadily demonstrated. For example, the growth factor in several diseases has been reported to be IL-6, and myeloma cells themselves have been reported to synthesize IL-6 and express IL-6 receptors. In addition, IL-6 has been suggested to contribute to a variety of inflammatory diseases and autoimmune diseases. This kit makes it possible to detect the IL-6 in mouse blood and in the supernatant of cultured cells with high sensitivity.

Description:
This kit is a solid phase sandwich ELISA using 2 kinds of high specific antibodies. Tetra Methyl Benzidine (TMB) is used as coloring agent (Chromogen). The strength of coloring is in proportion to the quantities of mouse IL-6.

Product features:
The kit contains reagents for 96 determinations;
Microtiter plate consisting of 12x8;
Microtiter plate reader at 450 nm;
Analytical sensitivity: 1,07 pg/mL
