Summary

IL-6 is an inflammatory marker, secrete by the cells in many pathological conditions like COVID-19 pneumonia. Interleukin 6 bind with its receptors (IL-6R) on cells surface and recruited a protein for its activation known as gp-130. Activated receptors send signals to nucleus through secondary messenger system and up regulate the expression of IL-6/GP130 domain. Total of two hundred (n=200) participants were included in the current study and divided equally in four groups. Group B is given Tocilizumab and Group C is treated with Remdesivir along with the approved standard treatment. Group D is only Given standard therapy and Group A constituted normal healthy age and sexed matched participants. Levels of gp-130 were estimated by commercially available ELISA kit. To estimate the relationship of severity of disease with gp-130 and IL-6 Pearson's correlations was used. Sensitivity and specificity for what purpose
