IL-6 has an important function in promoting fever and can serve to stimulate an immune response to trauma. IL-6 is often used for growth of hybridoma cell lines.  Human IL-6 is active on mouse and rat cells.

These research grade recombinant proteins are typically used as cytokines, growth factors and chemokines in cell based assays and cell culture.
