Gibco™ Human IL-6 Recombinant Protein

Description

Recombinant Protein

Carrier-Free Reconstitution: Centrifuge the vial briefly, before opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute the lyophilized protein in 100mM acetic acid to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL to regain full activity. Apportion the reconstituted protein into working aliquots and store at ≤-20°C. Make any further dilutions of the reconstituted protein in low endotoxin medium or buffered solution with FBS or tissue culture grade BSA. Storage: Store the lyophilized protein at 2-8°C, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, apportion into working aliquots and store at ≤-20°C (not in a frost-free freezer). Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

IL-6 is a gene that encodes a cytokine that plays a role in inflammation and the maturation of B cells. The protein produced by this gene is an endogenous pyrogen that can induce fever in people with autoimmune diseases or infections. The gene is primarily expressed at sites of acute and chronic inflammation, where it is secreted into the serum and induces a transcriptional inflammatory response through interleukin 6 receptor, alpha. The functioning of this gene is implicated in a wide variety of inflammation-associated disease states, including suspectibility to diabetes mellitus and systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Elevated levels of the encoded protein have been found in virus infections, including COVID-19 (disease caused by SARS-CoV-2). Diseases associated with IL6 include Kaposi Sarcoma and Rheumatoid Arthritis, Systemic Juvenile.
