Interleukin-6, IL-6, B-Cell Stimulatory Factor 2, BSF-2, CTL Differentiation Factor, CDF, Hybridoma Growth Factor, Interferon Beta-2, IFN-Beta-2, IL6, IFNB2
Application Note:
This recombinant protein can be used for biological assays. For research use only.
Background:
Cytokines of the IL6/GCSF/MGF family are glycoproteins of about 170 to 180 amino acid residues that contain four conserved cysteine residues involved in two disulfide bonds. They have a compact, globular fold (similar to other interleukins), stabilized by the 2 disulfide bonds. One half of the structure is dominated by a 4 alpha-helix bundle with a left-handed twist; the helices are anti-parallel, with 2 overhand connections, which fall into a 2-stranded anti-parallel beta-sheet. The fourth alpha helix is important to the biological activity of the molecule. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) 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.
Biological Activity:
Recombinant IL-6 is fully biologically active when compared to standards.
ED50 is less than 0.1 ng/ml as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of human TF-1 cells.
Specific Activity of 5.0 x 107 IU/mg.
Buffer:
Lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered solution of 20mM HAc-NaAc, 150mM NaCl, pH 5.0. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 ug/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in ddH2O.
