Comparison of top-performing detection and capture antibodies. (A) Four detection antibodies from commercial IL-6 kits were screened and compared for their ability to recognize human recombinant IL-6. Thermo-Pierce 5IL6 was used as a capture antibody. Invitrogen detection antibody (505E23C7) was selected as the detection antibody for future screenings. (B) The three top-performing capture monoclonal anti-IL-6 antibodies (Thermo-Pierce 5IL6, Ebiosciences 16YOR5/66 and Epitomics EBI-R14-19) were compared in a single analysis. The detection antibody was Invitrogen ELISA detection antibody 505E23C7.
