Revvity HTRF Mouse IL-6 Detection Kit, 100,000 Assay Points

IL6 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, IL6 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. When assaying, always follow recommended protocol and avoid highly haemolyzed samples.
