"This assay employs the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique for the quantitative detection of human IL-6. The Human IL-6 ELISA is for research use only. Not for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.

Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is an interleukin that acts as both a pro-inflammatory cytokine and an anti-inflammatory myokine. In humans, it is encoded by the IL-6 gene. IL-6 is secreted by T cells and macrophages to stimulate immune response, e.g. during infection and after trauma, especially burns or other tissue damage leading to inflammation. IL-6 also plays a role in fighting infection, as IL-6 has been shown in mice to be required for resistance against bacteriumStreptococcus pneumoniae.

IL-6 stimulates the inflammatory and auto-immune processes in many diseases such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, depression, Alzheimer's Disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple myeloma, prostate cancer, Beh?et's disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. Advanced/ metastatic cancer patients have higher levels of IL-6 in their blood."
