Human il 6rα

Manufactured by R&D Systems

The Human IL-6Rα is a recombinant protein that corresponds to the extracellular domain of the human interleukin-6 receptor alpha subunit. It functions as a receptor component involved in the signaling of the cytokine interleukin-6.

Human (#407306) and mouse (#407320) IFN-γ, human IL-6 (#407652) were purchased from Merck Millipore, human IFN-β (#11415–1) was from PBL Assay Science. Human IL-6Rα was from R&D Systems (#227-58-025), human IL-27 from Peprotech (#200–38). Other treatments used in this work include LPS (#L7895, Sigma) and ratjadone (#553590, Merck Millipore). Unless stated otherwise, IFN treatment was for one hour with 50 U/ml IFN-γ or 500 U/ml IFN-β in growth medium. Similarly, unless stated otherwise, IL-27 treatment was performed for 40 min at a concentration of 100 ng/ml. IL-6/IL-6R cotreatments also lasted for 40 min at concentrations of 200 and 250 ng/ml, respectively.

Recombinant human LIF (R&D Systems), human OSM (R&D Systems),
human CNTF (R&D Systems), human CNTFsR (R&D Systems), human IL-6
(R&D Systems), and human IL-6Rα (R&D Systems) were reconstituted
in PBS + 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) at 10–50 μg
mL−1 and aliquoted for storage at −80°C. For
all experiments, human recombinant proteins were used on human cell lines.
Before cytokine treatment, breast cancer cells were serum starved in DMEM
supplemented with 2% FBS overnight and cytokine treatment was made up in fresh
media under serum starved conditions.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
