Performance of Monocyte Activation Test Supplemented with Human Serum Compared to Fetal Bovine Serum (Altex 2020)
Marijke W. A. Molenaar-de Backer, Eelo Gitz, Miranda Dieker, Paulien Doodeman and Anja ten Brinke. ALTEX preprint published October 28, 2020 doi:10.14573/altex.2008261
… The MAT was more sensitive for endotoxin when FBS was used, however for most NEPs the MAT was more sensitive when performed in HS…

An improved monocyte activation test using cryopreserved pooled human mononuclear cells (Innate Immunity 2015)
S. Solati, L. Aarden, S. Zeerleder, D. Wouters. Innate Immunity (2015), vol 21, p667-684
. . . We conclude that the MAT, using frozen pooled PBMCs and IL-6 detection, is a highly sensitive, specific and reproducible pyrogen test that is able to detect and quantify endotoxin and non-endotoxin pyrogenic contaminations in parenteral pharmaceuticals, and replace the RPT.. . .

Cytokine induction by pyrogens: Comparison of whole blood, mononuclear cells, and TLR-transfectants ( Journal of Immunological Methods 2008)
R. Kikkert, E.R. de Groot, L. Aarden. Journal of Immunological Methods (2008), vol 336, p45–55
. . . After stimulation (16–20 h) of cells, supernatants were harvested and stored at −20 °C until assayed. IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF were determined by ELISA kits (PeliKine-compact, Sanquin Reagents, Amsterdam, the Netherlands). . . . we confirm that IL-6 is to be preferred over IL-1β and TNF as readout for MNC cytokine production. . . we are confident that our results will give an incentive to the area of pyrogen testing and will contribute to the ongoing discussion on alternative pyrogen testing using the monocyte activation test. . . .

Sensitive ELISA for interleukin-6: Detection of IL-6 in biological fluids: synovial fluids and sera ( Journal of Immunological methods 1991)
M.L. Helle, L. Boeije, E. de Groot, A. de Vos, L. Aarden. Journal of Immunological methods (1991), vol 138, p47-56
. . . A monoclonal antibody and an affinity purified polyclonal antibody, both raised against recombinant human IL-6, have been employed in an ELISA procedure to quantitate human IL-6. . . .
