The HTRF High Performance Human IL-6 kit is designed for the simple and rapid quantification human IL-6 release from cell supernatants. This kit is the new and improved version of part number 62HIL06PE, the Human IL-6 Detection Kit.
IL-6 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in acute-phase reaction, inflammation, and cancer progression. Secreted by T cells, macrophages, and fibroblasts, it induces B and T cell proliferation. It is being studied in a wide variety of research areas including diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, depression, and several cancers. Along with TGF beta, IL-6 is main promoter of T cell differentiation into TH17, a new component of immuno-oncology.
Assessment of serum samples often requires enhanced sensitivity. In some cases, AlphaLISA assays may have sufficient sensitivity to enable detection of low levels of analytes in serum or plasma.

Cell supernatant sample, or standard is dispensed directly into the assay plate for the detection by HTRFTM reagents (384-well low-volume white plate or Revvity low-volume 96-well plate in 20 µl). The antibodies labeled with the HTRF donor and acceptor are pre-mixed and added in a single dispensing step, to further streamline the assay procedure. The assay can be run up to a 1536-well format by simply resizing each addition volume proportionally.
The 4 Parameter Logistic (4PL) curve is commonly recommended for fitting an ELISA standard curve. This regression enables the accurate measurement of an unknown sample across a wider range of concentrations than linear analysis, making it ideally suited to the analysis of biological systems like cytokine releases.
The HP human IL-6 standard curve is generated in the assay Diluent 5 provided in the kit

Cross reactivities were assessed using recombinant proteins from the IL-6 cytokine family. Proteins were tested up to 10 000 pg/mL and standard curves were generated for each. Signals were interpolated on the assay standard curve to interpolate concentrations.

PBMC plated at 50, 100, 200 and 400 kcells/well were stimulated for 18h with LPS at 0 to 2 µg/mL. Then 16 µL of supernatants pre-diluted were transferred into a white detection plate (384 low volume) to be analyzed using the HP Human IL-6 Assay Kit.
PBMCs plated at 200 kcells/well were stimulated for 18h with increasing concentrations of dexamethasone in presence of 2 µg/mL LPS. Then 16 µL of supernatants pre-diluted were transferred into a white detection plate (384 low volume) to be analyzed using the HP Human IL-6 Assay Kit.
