Interleukin 6 (IL-6), and its receptor complex interleukin 6 receptor (IL-6R, CD126)-gp130 (CD130), play an important role in immune response. Elevated IL-6 leads to an acute severe systemic inflammatory response known as 'cytokine storm', where an uncontrolled and excessive release of pro-inflammatory cytokines can cause multisystem organ failure and death. Mortality in COVID-19 patients has been linked to this severe response induced by the virus. Tocilizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody against the IL-6R used as immunosuppressive drug, and it is emerging as an alternative treatment for COVID-19 patients at risk for 'cytokine storm'. <br />The IL-6:IL-6R Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit is designed for screening and profiling inhibitors of this receptor-ligand interaction. The key to this kit is the high sensitivity of detection of IL-6-Biotin protein by Streptavidin-HRP. Only a few simple steps on a microtiter plate are required for the assay. First, IL-6R protein is attached to

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) increases the risk of developing Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), which is often fatal at the late stages of the infection when the SAR-CoV-2 virus causes significant damage to the lungs. As a first step of the viral replication strategy, the virus attaches to the host cell surface before entering the cell. The Spike protein receptor binding domain (RBD) recognizes and attaches to the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor found on the surface of type I and II pneumocytes, endothelial cells, and ciliated bronchial epithelial cells. Drugs targeting the interaction between the Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 and ACE2 may offer some protection against the viral infection. The ACE2:SARS-CoV-2 Spike (RBD) Inhibitor Screening Colorimetric Assay Kit is designed for screening and profiling inhibitors of this interaction. The key to this kit is the high sensitivity of detection of Fc-tagged Spike protein by HRP-labeled Anti-mouse-Fc. Only a fe
