Cytokine Assays (IL6, IL2R) - From Niladri Ghosh

I was hoping you could help or direct me to the person who performs serum IL-6 and/or soluble IL-2 receptor assay for a patient of mine.
I was referred to you by my colleague Prof. Steven Krillis, Immunologist at St. George hospital Sydney.
I have an interesting patient whom we suspect has Castlemanns disease which has been extremely difficult to diagnose and is symptomatic. I was interested in getting this assay for the patient as an adjunct to diagnosis and for prognostic value if it was available.
