Application Note
ELISA: This antibody has been used as a solution-phase antibody at 2 μg/ml in a two-site ELISA with unconjugated IL6 antibody. Typicallly, the ELISA has a working range of 0-10000 pg/ml and sensitivity 5 pg/ml with the appropriate standard. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Background
This gene encodes a cytokine that functions in inflammation and the maturation of B cells. In addition, the encoded protein has been shown to be an endogenous pyrogen capable of inducing fever in people with autoimmune diseases or infections. The protein is primarily produced at sites of acute and chronic inflammation, where it is secreted into the serum and induces a transcriptional inflammatory response through interleukin 6 receptor, alpha. The functioning of this gene is implicated in a wide variety of inflammation-associated disease states, including suspectibility to diabetes mellitus and systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]
