Interleukin 6 (Immunofluorescence Chromatography)(IL-6) Test Steps
Overview of IL-6
Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional inflammatory cytokine, a key component of the inflammatory mediator network, and plays an important role in the inflammatory response. The increase in IL-6 level can be used as an early indicator of inflammatory response and can be used to assess the severity of systemic inflammatory response syndrome.
Clinical significance of IL-6
- Sensitive indicators for early diagnosis of acute infection
- Increase is positively correlated with disease severity
- Better reflect the prognosis of infected patients
| Content of IL-6 | Suggestions for clinical application |
| <7 pg/mL | normal |
| 7-150 pg/mL | Indicate the presence of mild inflammation or mild infection |
| 150-250pg/mL | Prompt general bacterial infection or systemic inflammation |
| >250pg/mL | It may be sepsis |
Major function of IL-6
- Stimulate the proliferation of activated B cells and secrete antibodies;
- Stimulate T cell proliferation and CTL activation;
- Stimulate liver cells to synthesize acute-phase proteins and participate in inflammatory reactions;
- Promote blood cell development;
- Promote the osteogenic differentiation of human aortic valve interstitial cells and the ability to form calcium.
Performance index of IL-6
| Detection range | sample size | Sample type | Test time |
| 2~4000pg/mL | 60μl | Whole blood / serum / plasma | 15min |
