Abstract excerpt
DM650, a soluble human IL-6Ralpha mutant with mutation of C277D/H280I, was previously shown to exhibit an antagonism to IL-6, which resulted in growth-inhibition of human multiple myeloma cell line AF-10 autocrining as the growth-stimulating factor. We investigated here the nature of the growth inhibition by examining cell apoptosis. Flow-cytometric analysis of the DNA fragmentation demonstrated that 7.2% of the...
