Journal ArticleDOI
Cytokines in normal and abnormal parturition: elevated amniotic fluid interleukin-6 levels in women with premature rupture of membranes associated with intrauterine infection.
Uma Santhanam,Cecilia Avila,Roberto Romero,Huguette Viguet,Nobuo Ida,Shingou Sakurai,Pravinkumar B. Sehgal +6 more
TL;DR: The participation of interleukin-6 in the pathophysiology of normal and abnormal human parturition was evaluated by determining IL-6 concentrations in amniotic fluid using the B9 hybridoma growth factor assay and a monoclonal antibody-based ELISA.
Journal ArticleDOI
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the measurement of human interleukin-6.
Nobuo Ida,Shingou Sakurai,Touko Hosaka,Kazuo Hosoi,Tetsunosuke Kunitomo,Yoshiharu Matsuura,Masayoshi Kohase +6 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that this enzyme-linked immunosorbent ELISA is suitable for application to clinical samples, which is a major advantage over the widely used bioassays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Establishment of strongly neutralizing monoclonal antibody to human interleukin-6 and its epitope analysis.
Nobuo Ida,Shingou Sakurai,Touko Hosaka,Kazuo Hosoi,Tetsunosuke Kunitomo,Tsuneo Shimazu,Toshihiro Maruyama,Yoshiharu Matsuura,Masayoshi Kohase +8 more
TL;DR: Three monoclonal antibodies against human interleukin-6 were established and characterized and one antibody was shown to strongly neutralize both the Ig-inducing and hybridoma/plasmacytoma growth activity of interleucin- 6.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of monocyte chemotactic and activating factor (MCAF) in normal blood and urine using a sensitive ELISA
TL;DR: A highly sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for human monocyte chemotactic and activating factor (MCAF), an inflammatory cytokine that plays an important role in the recruitment of blood monocytes to areas of inflammation, is developed.
Patent
Anti-human interleukin-6 monoclonal antibody
TL;DR: In this paper, an anti human interleukin-6 monoclonal antibody, which has a high specificity, as well as a hybridoma producing the same is disclosed.
