General description
Interleukin-6 is a pleotropic cytokine involved in hematopoiesis, inflammation and immune response. IL-6 is secreted by macrophages, dendritic cells and B cells, in response to TNF-α, PGDF and IL-1. The signaling by IL-6 is mediated by heterodimeric receptor, IL-6R, comprising of IL-6Rα (soluble factor) and gp130 (sometimes called IL-6Rβ). Gp130 is crucial component for downstream signal transduction. In response to IL-6, gp130 activates kinases of JAK family, STATs, MAPK and Ras proteins. IL-6R-mediated signaling is essential for normal development of T and B cells and has been implicated in many diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn disease, sepsis, fever, systemic lupus erythematosus, osteoporosis and insulin resistance
Interleukin-6 Receptor soluble fragment specifically binds and inhibits the activity of human IL-6 in free form or when bound to cell surface receptors.

Application
Interleukin-6 Receptor soluble fragment elicits a 50% increase in IL-6 activity in cell based assay at a concentration (EC50) of 1-10 ng/ml.
Physical form
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline containing 1.25 mg bovine serum albumin.
Analysis Note
The receptor mediated activity of human IL-6 receptor soluble fragment is measured by its ability to increase the IL-6 inhibition of M1 cells.

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays a major role in the response to injury or infection and is involved in the immune response, inflammation, and hematopoiesis. Its deregulation impacts numerous disease states, including many types of cancer. Consequently, modulating IL-6 may be an

Cytokine receptors, which exist in membrane-bound and soluble forms, bind their ligands with comparable affinity. Although most soluble receptors are antagonists and compete with their membrane-associated counterparts for the ligands, certain soluble receptors are agonists. In these cases, complexes of
