Interleukin-6: from basic biology to selective blockade of pro-inflammatory activities

J Scheller, C Garbers, S Rose-John - Seminars in immunology, 2014 - Elsevier
Cytokines receptors exist in membrane bound and soluble form. A soluble form of the
human IL-6R is generated by limited proteolysis and alternative splicing. The complex of IL …

KJ Kallen - Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA)-Molecular Cell …, 2002 - Elsevier
The activation of cells that do not express the membrane bound interleukin-6 6 receptor (IL-
6R) by IL-6 and the soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) is termed transsignalling. Transsignalling …
