IL-6 / Interleukin-6 Test
Test for the semi-quantitative evaluation of human Interleukin-6 (IL-6) in serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, amnitotic fluid or cerebrospinal fluid

IL-6 binds to a first anti IL-6 antibody conjugated to gold particles. The IL-6 loaded gold particles diffuse through the membrane and overflow the test line.
A second monoclonal antibody, specific for IL-6 is coated on the membrane. The gold particles are bound specifically and become visible as a coloured line. Colour intensity is directly proportional to the concentration of IL-6 in the sample. The conjugated specific antibodies printed as a second line on the membrane captures the rest of gold conjugate.
