Il 6 elisa kit

Manufactured by R&D Systems
Sourced in United States, United Kingdom, Germany

The IL-6 ELISA kit is a laboratory test used to measure the concentration of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in biological samples. IL-6 is a cytokine that plays a role in immune responses and inflammatory processes. The kit utilizes the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique to detect and quantify IL-6 levels in the sample.

To extract proteins from tissues of 0.5% λ-carrageenan-induced paw edema models, the tissues were frozen in liquid nitrogen, pulverized using a mortar, and lysed in PRO-PREP™. The lysed tissue was centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 15 min at 4 °C to separate the supernatant. The separated supernatant was subjected to ELISA in accordance with the manufacturer’s protocol to confirm and measure iNOS, COX-2, IL-1β, and IL-6 levels using the following kits: iNOS ELISA kit (MBS261100, mybiosource, BC, CA), COX-2 ELISA kit (MBS269104, mybiosource, BC, CA), IL-1β ELISA kit (MLB00C, R&D Systems, USA), IL-6 ELISA kit (M6000B, R&D Systems, USA).

Cells were incubated with 1 mL of RPMI medium with 10% FCS in a 24-well-plate (2 × 104 cells/well) for a period of 36 h. After incubation, we collected supernatants from each well and measured IL-6 levels in the conditioned media by an IL-6 ELISA kit according to manufacturer’s instructions (Cat No. D6050; R & D Systems, Inc.). The IL-6 levels were adjusted by the concentrations of protein in the whole cell extract, which was measured using a BCA protein assay kit (Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA), as previously described [28 (link)].

In vitro intercellular cell signaling assay was performed using macrophages (J774, ATCC) and fibroblasts (3T3, ATCC). Briefly, macrophages alone, fibroblasts alone or co-cultured macrophages and fibroblasts were cultured in 24 well plates and grown to 80% confluence followed by supplementing 10ng/mL of MCP-1 protein (R&D Systems) or control PBS. Forty-eight hours later, culture medium was collected and IL-6 levels were measured using an IL-6 ELISA kit (R&D Systems).
The recruitment effect of IL-6 on ECs (HUVEC, C-003-5C, Invitrogen), macrophages (J774, ATCC), SMCs (MOVAS, ATCC), and fibroblasts (3T3, ATCC) was studied in vitro by cell migration assay. Oris Pro Cell Migration Assay kit was used for cell migration assay. All cells were cultured with media supplemented with fetal bovine serum (FBS) and grown to 100% confluence followed by serum starvation for 12 hours in 96-well cell culture plates. The assay was started with 50 ng/mL of IL-6 protein or PBS supplemented in culture medium. All procedures followed the manufacturer’s instructions. Twenty-four hours after the assay started, cell migratory area was measured using Image Pro software.

Radiation-Induced IL-6 Secretion Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Supernatant from SUM159PT cells either untreated or treated with increasing doses of radiation were assayed with an IL-6 ELISA kit (R&D Systems) as described in the manufacturer’s protocol. Supernatants were collected 24, 48 or 72 hours post-irradiation and centrifuged to remove cells and debris. In addition, cells were trypsinized and counted by trypan blue exclusion using a Countess automated cell counter (Invitrogen) to normalize secreted IL-6 to total cell number. IL-6 ELISA was performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, 100 μl of supernatant or supplied standard was added to each well containing 100 μl of assay diluent and incubated at room temperature for 2 hours. After four washes, 200 μl of conjugate was added to each well and incubated at room temperature for an additional 2 hours. Following four additional washes, 200 μl of substrate was added to each well and incubated in the dark for 20 minutes. Finally, 50 μl of stop solution was added to each well and the absorbance was read at 450 nm. The standards were graphed and used to determine the concentration of IL-6 in each of the supernatant samples.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
