Target Background
Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine that regulates cell growth and differentiation of various tissues, and plays an important role in the immune response and acute phase reactions. IL-6 acts as both a pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine. It is secreted by T cells and macrophages to stimulate an immune response, e.g., during infection and after trauma, especially burns or other tissue damage leading to inflammation. IL-6's role as an anti-inflammatory cytokine is mediated through its inhibitory effects on TNF-α and IL-1, and activation of IL-1Rα and IL-10.

Customize This Porcine IL-6 ELISA
We manufacture our ELISAs in-house, so we can build a custom version for your study.
- Post-translational modifications (PTMs): Detect modified IL-6 (IL6), including phosphorylation, acetylation, S-nitrosylation, S-acylation, oxidation, lactylation, sumoylation, ubiquitination, nitration, carbamylation, and more
- Sample types: Validation in your matrix using samples you provide, such as CSF, urine, saliva, lysates, or exosomes
- Also available: More sensitive platforms such as Simoa® and NexaTag®, multiplex panels, bulk lots, and other species when suitable reagents exist
Feasibility varies by target and modification, and we’ll tell you upfront what’s achievable.
