Human IL11 protein (active)

IL11 (Interleukin-11) is a multifunctional cytokine first isolated from bone marrow-derived stromal cells. It stimulates the proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells and megakaryocyte progenitor cells and induces megakaryocyte maturation resulting in increased platelet production. Besides, IL11 is reported to induce the proliferation of human T-cells, thus, a proliferation assay was conducted to detect the bioactivity of human recombinant IL11 using Jurkat cells. Briefly, Jurkat cells were seeded into triplicate wells of 96-well plates at a density of 1x104 cells/well in RPMI-1640 with the addition of various concentrations of IL11. After incubated for 72h, cells were observed by inverted microscope and cell proliferation was measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). Briefly, 10 microl of CCK-8 solution was added to each well of the plate, then the absorbance at 450nm was measured using a microplate reader after incubating the plate for 1-4 hours at 37C. Cell proliferation of Jurkat cells after incubation with IL11 for 72h observed by inverted microscope.

Interleukin-11

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the gp130 family of cytokines. These cytokines drive the assembly of multisubunit receptor complexes, all of which contain at least one molecule of the transmembrane signaling receptor IL6ST (gp130). This cytokine is shown to stimulate the T-cell-dependent development of immunoglobulin-producing B cells. It is also found to support the proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells and megakaryocyte progenitor cells. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2012]
