Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The cDNA for human interleukin 6 (IL 6) was stably expressed at high levels in the three mammalian cell lines COS-7, PA317, and GH3 to yield IL 6 proteins of 25 to 27, 26, 22 to 24, and 23 kDa molecular mass. Both size and relative amounts of the recombinant IL 6 (rIL 6) species produced correspond to those of natural IL 6 secreted by LPS-stimulated monocytes. Oligosaccharide analysis of recombinant IL 6 utilizing tunicamycin and endoglycosidases revealed O- and N-linked glycosylation that is comparable to that of natural IL 6 derived from human monocytes and fibroblasts. IL 6 expressed in each of the three cell lines was phosphorylated similarly to the IL 6 produced in human monocytes and fibroblasts. IL 6 secreted by the three different cell lines have marked differences in specific biological activities. COS-7 IL 6 appeared to be 12-fold more active in its hybridoma growth factor activity than that made in PA317 or GH3 cells. In contrast, PA317 and GH3 IL 6 were 230 and 6.7 times more effective than COS-7 IL 6 in inducing Ig production in CESS cells. Also, PA317 and GH3 IL 6 were more effective than COS-7 IL 6 in inducing the acute-phase protein fibrinogen in human hepatocytes. The rIL 6 species exhibited no antiviral activity.
