Recombinant Human IL-6

Synonyms:26 kDa protein, IFN-β2, B cell differentiation factor (BCDF), BSF-2, HPGF, HSF, MGI-2
Description:IL-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine that plays an important role in host defense by regulating immune and inflammatory responses. Produced by T cells, monocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells and keratinocytes, IL-6 has diverse biological functions. It stimulates B-cell differentiation and antibody production, synergizes with IL-3 in megakaryocyte development and platelet production, induces expression of hepatic acute-phase proteins, and regulates bone metabolism. IL-6 signals through the IL-6 receptor system that consists of two chains, IL-6R α and gp130. Murine IL-6 is inactive on human cells, while both human and murine are equally active on murine cells. Recombinant human IL-6 is a 20.9 kDa protein containing 184 amino acid residues.
Source:E.coli
Stability:The lyophilized protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -200C. Reconstituted IL-6 is stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -200C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Purity:Greater than 99% by SDS-PAGE gel and HPLC analyses.
Biological Activity:The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of the proliferation of IL-6 dependent murine 7TD1 cells is ≤ 0.1 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of ≥ 1 x 107units/mg.
