Description
Overview	Recombinant, human, interleukin-6 expressed in E. coli. A prototypic pleiotrophic, pro-inflammatory cytokine that stimulates the production of acute phase proteins by hepatocytes. Also known to induce skeletal muscle protein breakdown. Induces growth and differentiation of B cells, T cells, and hepatocytes. Stimulates growth and inhibits constitutive, protein synthesis-independent apoptosis of murine B cell hybridoma 7TD1. IL-6 is produced by macrophages, endothelial cells, and activated T helper cells. Also considered as a potential marker of adipocyte differentiation. Human IL-6 is active on murine cells.

Revision	26-October-2007 JSW
Synonyms	rhIL-6
Description	Recombinant, human, interleukin-6 expressed in E. coli. Interleukin-6 is a protein produced by a number of cell types including T-lymphocytes, monocytes, diploid fibroblasts, hepatocytes, cardiac myxomas, certain cervical cancer cells, bladder cell carcinomas, vascular endothelial cells, and human myelomas. It has a variety of biological effects and does not show a high degree of species specificity. Stimulates the production of acute phase proteins by hepatocytes. Also known to induce skeletal muscle protein breakdown. Induces growth and differentiation of B-cells, T-cells, and hepatocytes. Stimulates growth and inhibits constitutive protein synthesis-independent apoptosis of murine B-cell hybridoma 7TD1. Human sequence IL-6 is active on murine cells. 1 µg is equivalent to 7.0 x 10³ WHO units.
Form	Lyophilized
Formulation	Carrier free.
Purity	≥95% by SDS-PAGE
Contaminants	Endotoxin: ≤1.0 EU/µg IL-6
Biological activity	8-20 pg/ml as measured in a cell proliferation assay with a factor-dependent murine plasmacytoma cell line, B9.
Solubility	Reconstitute to 0.1-1.0 mg/ml in 100 mM acetic acid.
Storage	≤ -70°C
Do Not Freeze	Ok to freeze
Special Instructions	Following reconstitution, aliquot and freeze (-70°C). Stock solutions are stable for up to 3 months at -70°C. Avoid freeze/thaw cycles of solutions.
