IL6 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein interleukin 6, which is encoded by the IL6 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in the cellular response to lipopolysaccharides and viral immune response. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 212 residues, a mass of 23.7 kDa, and is a member of the IL-6 protein superfamily. It is known to be secreted. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally O-glycosylated. The IL6 gene has been associated with the disease, Rheumatoid arthritis systemic juvenile. Other alias names for this target include BSF2, CDF, HGF, HSF, IFN-beta-2, IFNB2, B-cell differentiation factor, and BSF-2.
The detection range for different IL6 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.05 ng/L and as high as 200 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
