Ultra-Sensitive and Semi-Quantitative Vertical Flow Assay for the Rapid Detection of Interleukin-6 in Inflammatory Diseases
The inflammation biomarker Interleukin 6 (IL-6) exhibits a concentration of less than 7 pg/mL in healthy serum but increases 10–100-fold when inflammation occurs. Increased serum IL-6 has been reported in chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), as well as in life-threatening acute illnes...

description | The inflammation biomarker Interleukin 6 (IL-6) exhibits a concentration of less than 7 pg/mL in healthy serum but increases 10–100-fold when inflammation occurs. Increased serum IL-6 has been reported in chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), as well as in life-threatening acute illnesses such as sepsis and cytokine release syndrome (CRS). This work seeks to meet the demand for rapid detection of serum IL-6 both for rapid monitoring of chronic diseases and for triaging patients with acute illnesses. Following the optimization of several types of gold nanoparticles, membrane pore sizes, and buffer systems, an ultra-sensitive vertical flow assay (VFA) was engineered, allowing the detection of recombinant IL-6 in spiked buffer with a limit of detection (LoD) of 10 pg/mL and a reportable range of 10–10,000 pg/mL with a 15-min assay time. The detection of IL-6 in spiked pooled healthy serum exhibited an LoD of 3.2 pg/mL and a reportable range of 10–10,000 pg/mL. The VFA’s stability was demonstrated over 1-day, two-week, four-week, and six-week storage durations at room temperature. The inter-operator CV and intra-operator CV were determined to be 14.3% and 15.2%, respectively. Three reference zones, high, low, and blank, were introduced into the cartridge to facilitate on-site semi-quantitative measurements across a 6-point semi-quantitative range. Finally, the performance of the IL-6 VFA was validated using 20 RA and 20 healthy control (HC) clinical serum samples, using ELISA as the gold standard platform. The ultra-sensitive, rapid IL-6 VFA could potentially be used to triage patients for intensive care, treatment adjustments, or for monitoring disease activity in inflammatory conditions. |
