Revvity HTRF High Performance Human IL-6 Detection Kit, 10,000 Assay Points

IL-6 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in acute-phase reaction, inflammation, and cancer progression. Secreted by T cells, macrophages, and fibroblasts, it induces B and T cell proliferation. It is being studied in a wide variety of research areas including diabetes, Alzheimers disease, depression, and several cancers. Along with TGF beta, IL-6 is main promoter of T cell differentiation into TH17, a new component of immuno-oncology.Assessment of serum samples often requires enhanced sensitivity. In some cases, AlphaLISA assays may have sufficient sensitivity to enable detection of low levels of analytes in serum or plasma
