Interleukin 6 Detection Reagent(IL-6) Suggestions For Clinical Application
Overview of IL-6
Interleukin 6 (IL-6), a multifunctional inflammatory cytokine, is a key component of the inflammatory mediator network and plays an important role in the inflammatory response. Elevated IL-6 levels can be used as an early indicator of inflammatory response and can be used to assess the severity of systemic inflammatory response syndrome.
Performance index of IL-6
Detection range | sample size | Sample type | Test time |
2~4000pg/mL | 60μl | Whole blood / serum / plasma | 15min |
Clinical significance of IL-6
Content of IL-6 | Suggestions for clinical application |
<7 pg/mL | normal |
7-150 pg/mL | It means a mild inflammation or infection |
150-250pg/mL | It suggests systemic bacterial infection or systemic inflammatory reaction |
>250pg/mL | It could be sepsis |
Major Function of IL-6
- B cells were stimulated to proliferate and secrete antibodies;
- It stimulated T cell proliferation and CTL activation;
- It can stimulate hepatocytes to synthesize acute phase proteins and participate in inflammatory reaction;
- Promote the development of blood cells;
- It can promote the osteogenic differentiation and calcification of human aortic valve stromal cells.
