Interleukin-6 (IL6) is a multifunctional protein that plays an important role in host defense, acute phase reactions, immune responses and hematopoiesis. IL6 is expressed by a variety of normal and transformed cells including T-cells, B-cells, monocytes/macrophages, fibroblasts, hepatocytes, keratinocytes, astrocytes, vascular endothelial cells and various tumor cells. The production of IL6 is upregulated by numerous signals, including mitogenic or antigenic stimulation, LPS, calcium ionophore, IL1, IL2, IFN, TNF, PDGF, and viruses. IL6 expression in monocytes is inhibited by IL4 and IL13.
