Introduction
Il-6 is a cytokine with a wide variety of biological functions: it plays an essential role in the final differentiation of b-cells into ig-secreting cells, it induces myeloma and plasmacytoma growth, it induces nerve cells differentiation, in hepatocytes it induces acute phase reactants.
Clone
PAT1F10AT.
Physical Appearance
Sterile filtered colorless solution.
Immunogen
Anti-human IL-6, clone
PAT1F10AT mAb, is derived from hybridization of mouse F0 myeloma cells with
