Background: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that also has an important role in immunity. Mouse IL-6 appears to be directly involved in the responses that occur after infection and injury and may prove to be as important as IL-1 in regulating the acute phase response. Mouse IL-6 is reported to be produced by fibroblasts, activated T cells, activated monocytes or macrophages, and endothelial cells. It acts upon a variety of cells, including fibroblasts, myeloid progenitor cells, T cells, B cells and hepatocytes. IL-6 has a wide variety of biological functions: it plays an essential role in the final differentiation of B-cells into Ig-secreting cells, it induces myeloma and plasmacytoma growth, nerve cells differentiation in hepatocytes, and acute phase reactants.

Description: Recombinant Mouse Interleukin-6 is produced by our E. coli expression system and the target gene encoding Phe25-Thr211 is expressed.

Alternate Names: Interleukin-6, IL-6, B-Cell Hybridoma Growth Factor, Interleukin HP-1, Il6, Il-6

Purity: Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Redissolve: Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100μg/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles. 

Endotoxin: Less than 0.1 ng/µg (1 EU/µg) as determined by LAL test.

Molecular Weight: 21.8 KDa

Observed Molecular Weight: 22 KDa, reducing conditions

Storage: Lyophilized protein should be stored at < -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
