Validation Data Gallery

• 

  Purity of recombinant human IL-6 was determined by SDS- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The protein was resolved in an SDS- polyacrylamide gel in reducing and non-reducing conditions and stained using Coomassie blue

• 

  Recombinant human IL-6 (HZ-1019) stimulates dose-dependent proliferation of the 3G12B10 hybridoma cell line. Cell number was quantitatively assessed by PrestoBlue® Cell Viability Reagent. 3G12B10 cells were treated with increasing concentrations of recombinant IL-6 for 96 hours. The EC50 range is 0.03-0.24 ng/mL​.

• 

  Recombinant human IL-6 (HZ-1019) stimulates dose-dependent proliferation of the 7TD1 hybridoma cell line. Cell number was quantitatively assessed by CellTiter® Cell Viability Reagent. 7TD1 cells were treated with increasing concentrations of recombinant IL-6 for 96 hours. The EC50 is <0.5 ng/mL​.

Background

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an interleukin that acts as both a pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine. IL-6 protein is secreted by a variety of cell types including T cells and macrophages. IL-6 plays an essential role in the final differentiation of B-cells into immunoglobulin-secreting cells. It 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. IL-6 is also considered a myokine, a cytokine produced from muscle, and is elevated in response to muscle contraction. IL-6 has been shown to interact with interleukin-6 receptor and glycoprotein 130. Additionally, IL-6 is involved in hematopoiesis, bone metabolism, and cancer progression, and has been defined an essential role in directing transition from innate to acquired immunity (PMID: 29736207; 29731693).
