Sandwich ELISA - Human IL-6 R alpha ELISA Kit (AB278117)

Interpolated concentrations of native IL-6 R alpha in human serum, plasma (EDTA), plasma (citrate), plasma (heparin).

The concentrations of IL-6 R alpha were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the target standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows : serum 10%, plasma (EDTA) 20%, plasma (citrate, plasma - heparin. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean target concentration was determined to be 34.0 ng/mL in serum, 26.1 ng/mL in plasma (EDTA), 40.8 ng/mL in plasma (citrate), and 33.0 ng/mL in plasma (heparin).

Product details

Human IL-6 alpha ELISA kit (ab2778117) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Human IL-6 alpha protein in human serum, plasma and cell culture supoernatant samples. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human IL-6 alpha with 76.3 pg/mL sensitivity.

SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:

-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips

A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Interleukin-6 Receptor (IL-6R, IL-6 Receptor), also known as Interleukin-6 Receptor subunit alpha and membrane glycoprotein 80, is part of a receptor that binds Interleukin-6 (IL-6). IL-6 Receptor weakly binds IL-6 with a low affinity, and then is presented to gp130 to facilitate transition into a high affinity signaling competent hexamer. Activation may lead to regulation of the immune response, acute-phase reactions and hematopoiesis. The production of IL-6 Receptor has been implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases, including multiple myeloma, auto immune diseases and prostate cancer.IL-6 Receptor has two isoforms. The first is a transmembrane protein in which the N-terminal extracellular portion can be released by proteolytic cleavage. The second isoform is a secreted form that lacks the transmembrane and intracellular portions. This assay is directed at the extracellular portion of IL-6 Receptor and detects both the soluble and membrane bound forms.

IL-6R also known as the IL-6 receptor or IL-6R protein is a transmembrane protein with an approximate mass of 80-90 kDa. This receptor is found on the surface of various cells including hepatocytes leukocytes and immune cells like T-cells and macrophages. IL-6R binds to interleukin-6 (IL-6) a cytokine and plays an important role in immune response regulation. The receptor exists in both membrane-bound and soluble forms each contributing to diverse signaling events.
Biological function summary

IL-6 receptor function involves mediating the effects of IL-6 through its interaction with glycoprotein 130 (gp130) forming a signaling complex. This complex initiates intracellular pathways that lead to gene expression changes necessary for immune responses inflammation and hematopoiesis. When IL-6 binds IL-6R the complex formation with gp130 triggers downstream signaling that impacts cell growth differentiation and survival.

Pathways

IL-6R is central to the JAK/STAT signaling pathway one of the two main pathways activated by IL-6 signaling. It's also involved in the MAPK cascade contributing to cellular responses such as proliferation and differentiation. Through these pathways IL-6R interacts with other proteins like JAK kinases and STAT transcription factors coordinating cellular responses to external signals.

IL-6R is associated with inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and certain cancers. In rheumatoid arthritis overexpression of IL-6R leads to persistent inflammation and joint damage. In cancer IL-6/IL-6R signaling promotes tumorigenesis and cancer cell survival through interactions with proteins like STAT3. Understanding these connections aids in developing therapeutic interventions targeting IL-6R in various pathological conditions.

Target data

Part of the receptor for interleukin 6. Binds to IL6 with low affinity, but does not transduce a signal (PubMed : 28265003). Signal activation necessitate an association with IL6ST. Activation leads to the regulation of the immune response, acute-phase reactions and hematopoiesis (PubMed : 30995492, PubMed : 31235509). The interaction with membrane-bound IL6R and IL6ST stimulates 'classic signaling', the restricted expression of the IL6R limits classic IL6 signaling to only a few tissues such as the liver and some cells of the immune system. Whereas the binding of IL6 and soluble IL6R to IL6ST stimulates 'trans-signaling'. Alternatively, 'cluster signaling' occurs when membrane-bound IL6 : IL6R complexes on transmitter cells activate IL6ST receptors on neighboring receiver cells (Probable).. Isoform 1. Signaling via the membrane-bound IL6R is mostly regenerative and anti-inflammatory (Probable). Drives naive CD4(+) T cells to the Th17 lineage, through 'cluster signaling' by dendritic cells (By similarity).. Isoform 2. Soluble form of IL6 receptor (sIL6R) that acts as an agonist of IL6 activity (PubMed : 21990364). The IL6 : sIL6R complex (hyper-IL6) binds to IL6ST/gp130 on cell surfaces and induces signaling also on cells that do not express membrane-bound IL6R in a process called IL6 'trans-signaling'. sIL6R is causative for the pro-inflammatory properties of IL6 and an important player in the development of chronic inflammatory diseases (PubMed : 21990364). In complex with IL6, is required for induction of VEGF production (PubMed : 12794819). Plays a protective role during liver injury, being required for maintenance of tissue regeneration (By similarity). 'Trans-signaling' in central nervous system regulates energy and glucose homeostasis (By similarity).. Soluble interleukin-6 receptor subunit alpha.
