Target Background

Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine that regulates cell growth and differentiation of various tissues, and plays an important role in the immune response and acute phase reactions. IL-6 acts as both a pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine. It is secreted by T cells and macrophages to stimulate an immune response, e.g., during infection and after trauma, especially burns or other tissue damage leading to inflammation. IL-6's role as an anti-inflammatory cytokine is mediated through its inhibitory effects on TNF-α and IL-1, and activation of IL-1Rα and IL-10.

  1. Mouse IL-6 ELISA Kit
    Rating
    100%
    Recently used the IL-6 ELISA kit for quantifying interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels in cachexia mouse plasma samples. The kit came with all necessary reagents, including pre-coated 96-well plates, standards, detection antibodies, and substrates, which minimized preparation time and potential errors. The IL-6 ELISA kit protocol was straightforward, and all the assay incubations were at RT. The dilutions (2-fold) worked good as suggested in the protocol.
    Will order this kit for our experiments further.

    We've been looking for an ELISA kit that detects IL-6 in tissue lysates for ages. We used this kit with mouse brain tissue homogenized in a lysis buffer containing 0.25% SDS and diluted the samples 1:5 as recommended by the manufacturer protocol and got beautiful results.

    I recently had the opportunity to use the IL-6 ELISA kit for quantifying interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels in mouse skin tissue samples.
    From the outset, the IL-6 ELISA kit was straightforward and user-friendly. The kit came with all necessary reagents, including pre-coated 96-well plates, standards, detection antibodies, and substrates, which minimized preparation time and potential errors.

    I have used this Elisa kit, its quite affordable considering the amount of time saved and data generated from it. I have even compared IL-6 ELISA data to IL-6 luminex data (from the same samples) and they are relatively similar.

    I used this kit with LPS-inflammed RAW264.7 cells supernatants. It was very sensitive! The instructions were clear and detailed and the kit well assembled. I also liked that you can use just half a plate and keep the other strips for another time. I would strongly recommend.

    The kit was packaged in an organized and clear manner, and it was easy to walk through each step of the procedure. I used the mouse IL-6, VEGF, and TNF-alpha kits for plasma as well as homogenized muscle samples. Each worked well, and I would be happy to use them again.
