Interleukin-6 (IL-6) ELISA Kit
Purpose: The Interleukin-6 (IL-6) ELISA Kit is designed to provide a highly sensitive method for detecting and quantifying IL-6 in mouse blood and in the supernatant of cultured cells. This assay facilitates precise measurement and analysis of this crucial cytokine.
Background: IL-6, originally identified as a B-cell differentiation factor, is a multifunctional cytokine with a broad range of physiological activities. In addition to its role in antibody production, IL-6 is known for inducing acute-phase protein synthesis in hepatocytes and working synergistically with IL-3 to stimulate growth. Its significance in various pathologies has been extensively documented.
IL-6 functions as a growth factor in several diseases, including multiple myeloma, where it is both synthesized and has its receptors expressed on myeloma cells. Furthermore, IL-6 plays a role in a range of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, underscoring its importance in both normal physiology and disease.
Significance: Accurate detection and measurement of IL-6 are crucial for understanding its role in disease mechanisms and its potential as a therapeutic target. The IL-6 ELISA Kit allows researchers to monitor IL-6 levels, providing valuable insights into inflammatory and autoimmune responses and other related pathologies.
