## Background: The effect of interleukin-6 (il-6), the major growth factor for myeloma cells, may be enhanced by soluble il-6 receptor (sil-6r). therefore, the current study investigated the clinical significance of serum sil-6r in patients with multiple myeloma (mm). ## Methods: Serum levels of

This paper reports on cDNA coding for the SO-kDa murine IL6 receptor (mlL6R) that was cloned from a mouse liver cDNA library. Human hepatoma Hep3B cells transfected transiently or stably with an expression vector carrying the entire coding region for mIL6R become responsive to mouse IL6 (mIL 6).We m
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) belongs to a family of cytokines that use receptors consisting of a common signal-transducing chain (gp130). Baf/3 cells transfected with the human IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) and gp130 (Baf/3-gp130/IL-6R) can only grow in medium containing IL-6. We attempted to interrupt the signal t
## Abstract The cytokine interleukin (IL)β6 has a wide range of biological activities. It contributes to host defense against pathogens by inducing immune responses, hematopoiesis, and acuteβphase reactions. However, dysregulation of ILβ6 production plays a significant pathological role in various
The cell line M-07e requires either Interleukin-3 (IL-3) or granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) for proliferation in vitro. Cells deprived of growth factor for up to 48 hours remain viable but no longer divide. The growthfactor-deprived M-07e cells begin to divide within 48 hou
## Interleukin-6 induces tyrosine phosphorylation of the Ras activating protein Shc, and its complex formation with Grb2 in the human multiple myeloma cell line LP-1 Like many other cytokines and growth factors, interleukin-6 (IL-6) activates ~21'"'. However, the precise biochemical mechanisms ind
