cGMP rHu IL-6 Lyophilized
High quality cGMP materials.
See why everyone is choosing Akron cytokines.
Akron’s Recombinant Human Interleukin-6 (rHu IL-6) product is manufactured following all relevant cGMP guidelines for ancillary materials. Akron’s rHu IL-6 is a single chain, 30 kDa, non-glycosylated cytokine analog expressed in E. coli without the use of His tags, containing 184 amino acids. The lyophilized product is packaged into vials and available in 10 µg and 100 µg aliquots.
In vivo, IL-6 both upregulates and downregulates inflammation and is an important mediator of fever and the acute phase response. It is produced by many diverse cell types in the body, including muscle and bone cells, and is involved in central nervous system functions. Akron’s cGMP-compliant rHu IL-6 can be used to stimulate the production of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSC/HPC), human umbilical cord-mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), neurons, neutrophils, B cells, T cells, and control the function of various nonimmune cells.
