Tag :	Non
Protein Length :	183
Description :	Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an interleukin that in humans is encoded by the IL-6 gene and acts as both a pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine. It is secreted by T cells and macrophages to stimulate immune response. Furthermore, It plays an essential role in the final differentiation of B-cells into Ig-secreting cells involved in lymphocyte and monocyte differentiation. It also induces myeloma and plasmacytoma growth and induces nerve cells differentiation acts on B-cells, T-cells, hepatocytes, hematopoietic progenitor cells and cells of the CNS. The human IL-6 is a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 183 amino acids and it signals through a cell-surface type I cytokine receptor complex consisting of the ligand-binding IL-6Rα chain (CD126), and the signal- transducing component gp130 (also called CD130). The human IL-6 shares about 40% a.a. sequence identity with mouse and rat IL-6 and it is equally active on mouse and rat cells.
Form :	Lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered concentrated solution in 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 150 mM NaCl.
Bio-activity :	Assay #1: Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by a cell proliferation assay using IL-6-dependent murine 7TD1 cells is less than 0.1 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 1.0 × 10⁷ IU/mg.Assay #2: Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by a cell proliferation assay using IL-6-dependent murine T1165 cells is less than 0.8 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 1.25 × 10⁷ IU/mg.
Molecular Mass :	Approximately 20.8 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 183 amino acids.

Endotoxin :	Less than 0.01 EU/µg of rHuIL-6 GMP as determined by LAL method.
Purity :	>98% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analysis.
Storage :	Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70 centigrade as supplied.1 month, 2 to 8 centigrade under sterile conditions after reconstitution.3 months, -20 to -70 centigrade under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
Reconstitution :	We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤-20 centigrade. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
