Production of interleukin 6 by hepatoma cells.
Abstract
Five rat hepatoma cell lines were shown to secrete hepatocyte-stimulating factors (HSFs) capable of inducing a characteristic spectrum of acute phase genes. Three of these lines, but not normal rat livers or livers from rats with an experimentally induced acute inflammation, produced interleukin 6 (IL6) mRNA. An anti-rat IL6 serum was prepared against synthetic peptides derived from the rat IL6 cDNA sequence. This antiserum cleared authentic …
