Impact of short-term storage of plasma samples on quantitation of ultra-low levels of interleukin-6
Objective To quantitate plasma interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels in healthy individuals and to clarify how these levels are affected by blood sample handling procedures during short-term storage. Methods Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-treated plasma samples were simultaneously collected from 14 he...

Methods Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-treated plasma samples were simultaneously collected from 14 healthy individuals and stored on ice prior to analysis of the IL-6 levels.
