Recombinant mouse IL-6 protein
Il6, also known as Interleukin-6, is a cytokine with a wide variety of biological functions. It is a potent inducer of the acute phase response. This protein plays an essential role in the final differentiation of B-cells into Ig-secreting cells Involved in lymphocyte and monocyte differentiation. It induces myeloma and plasmacytoma growth and induces nerve cells differentiation. Recombinant mouse Il6, fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in insect cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
