• Source: Optimized DNA sequence encoding Mouse Interleukin-6 mature chain was expressed in Escherichia Coli.
• Biological Activity: The ED(50) determined by the dose-dependent proliferation of murine 7TD1 cells, was found to be < 0.01 ng/ml cells was found to be in the range of 1x10^8U/mg.
• Endotoxin: Endotoxin content was assayed using a LAL gel clot method.; Endotoxin level was found to be less than 0.1 ng/ug(1EU/ug).
• Reconstitution: A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in distilled water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers.
• Preparation and Storage: The lyophilized protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20° C.; Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2°-8° C for one month, or at -20° C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity.; Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Related Product Information for IL-6 recombinant protein

IL6 is produced by many different cell types. The main sources in vivo are stimulated monocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. Macrophages, T-cells and B-lymphocytes, granulocytes, smooth muscle cells, eosinophils, chondrocytes, osteoblasts, mast cells, glial cells, and keratinocytes also produce IL6 after stimulation. IL6 is a member of a family of cytokines, which also includes LIF, CNTF, Oncostatin M, IL11, and CT- 1. All known members of the IL6 cytokine family induce hepatic expression of acute phase proteins. The IL6 receptor is expressed on T-cells, mitogen-activated B-cells, peripheral monocytes and some macrophage- and B-cell derived tumor cell types. It is not expressed in resting B-cells but in resting T- cells. The IL6 receptor is a strongly glycosylated protein of 80 kDa and a length of 449 amino acids. It has been designated CD126.
