IL-6

This gene encodes a cytokine that functions in inflammation and the maturation of B cells. In addition, the encoded protein has been shown to be an endogenous pyrogen capable of inducing fever in people with autoimmune diseases or infections. The protein is primarily produced at sites of acute and chronic inflammation, where it is secreted into the serum and induces a transcriptional inflammatory response through interleukin 6 receptor, alpha. The functioning of this gene is implicated in a wide variety of inflammation-associated disease states, including suspectibility to diabetes mellitus and systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

1.Calculate the total volume of Capture Antibody needed and dilute to the working concentration in PBS.
2.Immediately add 100 µL of the diluted Capture Antibody or antigen per well. Cover the microplate with the lid and incubate overnight at 2-8 °C.
3.Aspirate each well and wash 3 times with Wash Buffer or PBS (350 µL/well) using a squirt bottle, manifold dispenser, or autowasher. After the final wash, remove any remaining liquid by inverting the microplate and blotting it against a clean paper towel.
4.Block membranes by adding 200 µL of Blocking Buffer to each well. Incubate for 2 hours at room temperature.
5.Aspirate or decant Blocking Buffer. Rinse with the same media in which the cells will be cultured.
6.Aspirate culture media from the microplate, and immediately fill the appropriate wells with 100 µL of culture media containing Feline IL-6 secreting cells. Incubate at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 incubator.
7.Wash the microplate 4 times with Wash Buffer. Remove any remaining Wash Buffer by inverting the microplate and blotting it against a clean paper towel.
8.Calculate the total volume of Detection Antibody needed and dilute to the working concentration in Reagent Diluent.
9.Add 100 µL of the diluted Detection Antibody or biotinylated antigen per well. Cover the microplate with the lid and incubate overnight at 2-8 °C.
10.Aspirate Detection Antibody or biotinylated antigen and wash as described in step 3. Microplates are now ready for color development.
