Recombinant Human IL-6 Protein

Specification :
| Source : E.coli | Species : Human | Form : IL-6 is an interleukin that acts as both a pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine. It is secreted by T cells and macrophages to stimulate immune response to trauma, especially burns or other tissue damage leading to inflammation. IL-6 is relevant to many disease processes such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, depression, Alzheimer’s Disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, cancer, and rheumatoid arthritis. There is an interest in developing anti-IL-6 agents as therapy against many of these diseases. The first such is tocilizumab which has been approved for rheumatoid arthritis. | Molecular Mass : 21 kDa | Purity : > 90 % by SDS-PAGE | Storage : -20 centigrade | Concentration : 0.5 mg/ml when reconstituted with 100 µl of deionized water | Storage Buffer : 20 mM Hac-NaAc, pH 5.0, 150 mM NaCl
