This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Guinea pig IL-6. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Guinea pig IL-6 and analogues was observed.

Store at 2-8 degree C.

Samples: Serum, plasma and other biological fluids. Assay Type: Competitive. Detection Range: 0.5 pg/mL - 100 pg/mL.The standard curve concentrations used for the ELISA's were 100 pg/mL, 25 pg/mL, 8 pg/mL, 2 pg/mL, 0.5 pg/mL, 0 pg/mL. Sensitivity: The limit of detection of Guinea pig IL-6 defined as the analyte concentration resulting in an absorbance significantly higher than that of the dilution medium (mean plus 2 standard deviations) was determined to be 0.2 pg/mL (mean of 6 independent assays).

Intra-assay Precision: Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay) Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess intra-assay precision. Intra-Assay: CV<8%. Inter-assay Precision: Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays) Three samples of known concentration were tested in forty separate assays to assess inter-assay precision. CV(%) = SD/meanX100. Inter-Assay: CV<12%. Intended Uses: For the quantitative detection of Guinea pig Interleukin 6 (IL-6) concentration in serum, plasma and other biological fluids.

Principle of the assay: This assay employs the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with goat-anti-rabbit antibody. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with an antibody specific for IL-6 and Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugated IL-6. The competitive inhibition reaction is launched between with HRP labeled IL-6 and unlabeled IL-6 with the antibody. A substrate solution is added to the wells and the color develops in opposite to the amount of IL-6 in the sample. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

This gene encodes a cytokine that functions in inflammation and the maturation of B cells. In addition, the encoded protein has been shown to be an endogenous pyrogen capable of inducing fever in people with autoimmune diseases or infections. The protein is primarily produced at sites of acute and chronic inflammation, where it is secreted into the serum and induces a transcriptional inflammatory response through interleukin 6 receptor, alpha. The functioning of this gene is implicated in a wide variety of inflammation-associated disease states, including suspectibility to diabetes mellitus and systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

IL6: 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. It induces myeloma and plasmacytoma growth and induces nerve cells differentiation Acts on B-cells, T-cells, hepatocytes, hematopoietic progenitor cells and cells of the CNS. 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. Genetic variations in IL6 are associated with susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis systemic juvenile (RASJ). An inflammatory articular disorder with systemic- onset beginning before the age of 16. It represents a subgroup of juvenile arthritis associated with severe extraarticular features and occasionally fatal complications. During active phases of the disorder, patients display a typical daily spiking fever, an evanescent macular rash, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, serositis, myalgia and arthritis. A IL6 promoter polymorphism is associated with a lifetime risk of development of Kaposi sarcoma in HIV-infected men. Belongs to the IL-6 superfamily. Protein type: Secreted, signal peptide; Secreted.
