Popis: SUMMARY Objective: Measurement of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced interleukin-6 (IL-6) secretion in Mono Mac 6 cells. Method: Dissociation-enhanced lanthanide fluoro immunoassay (DELFIA), a technique based on time-resolved fluorescence. Results: A comparison of DELFIA and the B9 bio-assay showed a correlation between the results of the two assays. DELFIA did not show any cross-reactivity with the human cytokines TNFα, IL-1β, IL-1α, IL-2, IL-4, IFNγ, murine IL-6 or LPS. In aqueous solution the detection limit was 2.5 pg LPS/ml, and in a 25% dilution of a lipid-based total parenteral nutrition (TPN) product it was 25 pg LPS/ml. TPN did not interfere with the DELFIA assay, but the IL-6 secretion from the Mono Mac 6 cells was inhibited at TPN concentrations above 25%. Conclusion: A combination of Mono Mac 6 cells with DELFIA was found to be a reliable method for detecting LPS, but further validation by independent laboratories is justified.
