Application Note: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) has been tested by SDS-PAGE and is suitable as a control for polyclonal or monoclonal anti-Interleukin-6 (IL-6) in immunological assays. It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized recombinant M-IL-6 in 10 mM HCl to 0.1-1.0 mg/mL to regain full activity; this can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Concentration Value: 0.1 mg/mL

Background: Interleukin (IL)-6, also know as BCDG, BCGF and BSF-2, is an important proinflammatory and immunoregulatory cytokine expressed by various cells. Interleukin-6 has been shown to inhibit the growth of early stage and to promote the proliferation of advanced stage melanoma cells in vitro. Recombinant Mouse IL-6 produced in E. coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 187 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 21,709 Daltons.
Low Endotoxin: Yes
