| Background | 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 alpha and gp130. Murine IL-6 is inactive on human cells, while both human and murine are equally active on murine cells. |
| Storage | The lyophilized protein is stable at -20°C for one year from despatch. The reconstituted IL-6 is stable for three months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20°C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. |
