Recombinant rat IL-6 is a 21.7 kDa peptide containing 188 residues corresponding to full-length mature rat interleukin-6.

IL-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine involved in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses.

Target Species
Rat
Product Form
Purified recombinant protein expressed in E. coli - lyophilized.
Reconstitution
Reconstitute with 0.1 ml distilled water. For extended storage the addition of 0.1% BSA is recommended.
Care should be taken during reconstitution as the protein may appear as a film at the bottom of the vial. Bio-Rad recommend that the vial is gently mixed after reconstitution.
Source
E.coli
Buffer Solution
TRIS buffered saline
0.1% SDS
Preservative Stabilisers
None present
Carrier Free
Yes
Activity
ED50 of < 0.01ng/ml when assayed by proliferation of IL-6 dependent murine 7TD1 cells. This corresponds to a specific activity of 1 x 108 units/mg.
Purity
>98% by SDS PAGE and HPLC analysis.
Approx. Protein Concentrations
0.1 mg/ml after reconstitution

Regulatory
For research purposes only
Guarantee
3 months from date of reconstitution

Prior to reconstitution store at +4oC.
After reconstitution store at -20oC.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the protein.
