Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is an interleukin that acts as both a pro inflammatory cytokine and an anti-inflammatory myokine. osteoblasts secrete IL-6 to stimulate osteoclast formation. Smooth muscle cells in the tunica media of many blood vessels also produce IL-6 as a pro-inflammatory cytokine.
IL-6 Rapid Quantitative Test (Chemiluminescence Immunoassay) is used for in vitro quantitative detection of the Interleukin-6 (IL-6) concentration in human serum, plasma that contains heparin /EDTA and other anticoagulants and venous whole blood samples, mainly used for auxiliary diagnosis of inflammation diseases.
