Assay of Pyrogens by Interleukin-6 Release from Monocytic Cell Lines

Abstract excerpt

A novel in-vitro system has been developed for the detection and quantification of pyrogen in pharmaceutical products. The measured variable was evoked secretion of the pyrogenic cytokine interleukin-6 from MONO MAC 6 monocytic cells incubated with the product. The interleukin-6 was detected using a specific and sensitive ELISA developed for this purpose. The test system detected pyrogenic contamination in 3...
