Biochem/physiol Actions

Interleukin-6 (IL6) plays a wide variety of important biological roles in the immune, nervous and endocrine system. It is an essential component for hybridoma growth and is found in many supplemental cloning media. IL6 regulates acute and chronic inflammatory diseases and has been proven to be an excellent target for clinical treatment against autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis and Castleman′s disease. IL6 also plays a key role in the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma.

Physical form

Elevated plasma levels of C-reactive protein have been found in the majority of patients with unstable angina. The evidence of elevated levels of acute-phase proteins in unstable angina is in line with a growing body of evidence that suggests that

Interleukin-6 (IL6) plays a central role in multiple myeloma pathogenesis and confers resistance to corticosteroid-induced apoptosis. We therefore evaluated the efficacy and safety of siltuximab, an anti-IL6 monoclonal antibody, alone and in combination with dexamethasone, for patients with relapsed or

IL-6 is a key cytokine in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The clinical efficacy of tocilizumab (TCZ), a humanized anti-IL6-receptor mAb, confirmed the value of IL-6 blockade in this disease. A number of new anti-IL-6 biologics are currently in
