Abstract excerpt
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) has been shown to stimulate the proliferation of multiple myeloma cells purified to a high degree from human bone marrow. IL-6 production in multiple myeloma has been attributed to cells belonging to the myeloma clone, thus supporting a mechanism of autostimulation.
