Intended Uses: This Human Interleukin-6 soluble receptor ELISA Kit is to be used for the in vitro quantitative determination of human interleukin-6 soluble receptor (IL-6sR) concentrations in serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, and other biological fluids. This kit is intended for LABORATORY RESEARCH ONLY and is not to be used for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
other info2 :
Sensitivity: The minimum detectable dose of IL-6sR was determined by adding two standard deviations to the mean optical density value of 20 zero standard replicates and calculating the corresponding concentration from the standard curve. The minimum detectable dose of human IL-6sR using a standard curve generated with Calibrator Diluent I is <7 pg/mL and using Calibrator Diluent II is <7pg/mL. Intra-assay Precision: To determine within-run precision, three different samples of known concentration were assayed by replicates of twenty in 1 assay. Inter-assay Precision: To determine between-run precision, three different samples of known concentration were assayed by replicates on 20 different assays.

products description :
Principle of the assay: This IL-6 sR enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) applies a technique called a quantitative sandwich immunoassay. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with a monoclonal antibody specific to IL-6sR. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated polyclonal antibody preparation specific for IL-6sR and incubated. IL-6sR if present, will bind and become immobilized by the antibody pre-coated on the wells and then be "sandwiched" by biotin conjugate. The microtiter plate wells are thoroughly washed to remove unbound IL-6sR and other components of the sample. In order to quantitatively determine the amount of IL-6sR present in the sample, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. Avidin is a tetramer containing four identical subunits that each have a high affinity-binding site for biotin. The wells are thoroughly washed to remove all unbound HRP-conjugated Avidin and a TMB (3,3'5, 5' tetramethyl-benzidine) substrate solution is added to each well. The enzyme (HRP) and substrate are allowed to react over a short incubation period. Only those wells that contain IL-6sR, biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in colour. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the colour change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm +/- 2 nm. In order to measure the concentration of IL-6sR in the samples this kit includes two calibration diluents (Calibrator Diluent I for serum/plasma testing and Calibrator Diluent II for cell culture supernatant testing.) According to the testing system, the provided standard is diluted (2-fold) with the appropriate Calibrator Diluent and assayed at the same time as the samples. This allows the operator to produce a standard curve of Optical Density (O.D) versus IL-6sR concentration (pg/mL). The concentration of IL-6sR in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.

ncbi summary :
The protein encoded by this gene is a signal transducer shared by many cytokines, including interleukin 6 (IL6), ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), and oncostatin M (OSM). This protein functions as a part of the cytokine receptor complex. The activation of this protein is dependent upon the binding of cytokines to their receptors. vIL6, a protein related to IL6 and encoded by the Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, can bypass the interleukin 6 receptor (IL6R) and directly activate this protein. Knockout studies in mice suggest that this gene plays a critical role in regulating myocyte apoptosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 17. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]
