The following Interleukin 6 ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of interleukin 6 in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the IL6 gene. This protein has been described to function 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 has been described to be a secreted protein. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally O-glycosylated. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Rheumatoid arthritis systemic juvenile. This protein may also be known as BSF2, CDF, HGF, HSF, IFN-beta-2, IFNB2, B-cell differentiation factor, and BSF-2.
Some Interleukin 6 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 0.05 ng/L and as high as 25 ng/mL. Use the search filters to narrow your search and click on the ELISA kits below for more detailed information, such as reactivity and assay sensitivity.
