General description

The Mouse IL-6 ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is an in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of Mouse IL-6 in serum, plasma, cell culture supernatants and urine.

Immunogen

Recombinant Mouse IL-6

Application

For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
Mouse IL-6 ELISA kit has been used for determining the levels of IL-6 in biological samples.

Biochem/physiol Actions

IL-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine that plays an important role in host defense by regulating immune and inflammatory responses. Produced by T cells, monocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells and keratinocytes, IL-6 has diverse biological functions. It stimulates B-cell differentiation and antibody production, synergizes with IL-3 in megakaryocyte development and platelet production, induces expression of hepatic acute-phase proteins, and regulates bone metabolism.

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  
  1. How much serum volume is needed for the analysis?

    1 answer
    1. The assay requires 100 μL of 2-fold diluted sample per well. Testing samples in duplicate is recommended, resulting in a total requirement of 200 µL of sample.

      Helpful?

  2. Hello. How much should I dilute tissue culture media for the assay? 2-fold? Thanks.

    1 answer
    1. The Assay/Sample Diluent Buffer (Item E2) should be diluted 5-fold. This 1X Assay/Sample Diluent Buffer is used to dilute serum, plasma, or medium samples a recommended 2 fold. Please note that the levels of IL-6 may vary between different samples. Optimal dilution factors for each sample must be determined by the investigator.

  3. マウスのパイエル板をホモジナイズした上清で測定は可能ですか?

    1 answer
    1. This product is suitable with serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatant. However, it has not been determined if this product can measure the supernatant obtained by homogenizing mouse Peyer's patches. This application will need to be validated by the end-user.

      While the requested ELISA kit nor any of the offered normal ELISA kits are neither designed nor validated with cell/tissue lysate samples, our kits are very accommodating to many different sample types so lysates will most likely work. If it is decided to test these kits with cell/tissue lysate samples, it is recommended to dilute the samples at least 5-fold with Assay Diluent to minimize any effects of the detergents in the lysis buffer. The samples may need to be diluted further but this would need to be determined by the experimenter empirically.

      So for the original lysate, in general it is recommended to shoot for at least 1 mg/ml protein, preferably more, to achieve 50-500 ug/ml after dilution. Again though, this range should just be used as a starting point and the optimal concentration would need to be determined empirically.

      Below are some general guidelines for doing so along with some basic tips for sample preparation.
      Tips on Sample preparation
      In brief, a lysis buffer must meet the following specifications:
      A) has relatively low salt content (700 mM or less)
      B) does not contain sodium azide
      C) does not contain >0.1% SDS
      D) does not contain >10 mM reducing agents (beta-mercaptoethanol or dithiothreitol)
      This would include any buffers used for immunoprecipitations, including RIPA buffer.
