- Fast and Accurate: Results available in 15 minutes
- Wide Detection Range: 1.5–4000.0 pg/mL
- Multiple Sample Types: Compatible with serum, plasma, whole blood, and peripheral blood
- High Sensitivity: Cut-off value at 7.0 pg/mL
- Stable Storage: 4–30°C with a 24-month shelf life
About IL-6
Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional cytokine involved in inflammation and immune regulation. Produced at sites of acute or chronic inflammation, IL-6 initiates a transcriptional response that promotes B cell differentiation and T cell activation. It is secreted by various cells including monocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and T lymphocytes.
Elevated IL-6 levels are associated with conditions such as sepsis, autoimmune diseases, lymphomas, AIDS, alcoholic liver disease, infections, and transplant rejection. Its potent activity, even below 10 pg/mL, makes it an important marker in clinical diagnosis and prognosis.
