Anti-IL6 antibody

IL-6 is an interleukin that acts as both a pro-inflammatory and inflammatory cytokine. It is secreted by T cells and macrophages to stimulate immune response to trauma, especially burns or other tissue damage leading to inflammation. IL-6 is relevant to many disease processes such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, depression, Alzheimer's Disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, cancer, and rheumatoid arthritis.
