Abstract excerpt
Propagation of the undifferentiated pluripotential phenotype of embryonic stem (ES) cells is dependent on the cytokine differentiation inhibiting activity/leukemia inhibitory factor (DIA/LIF). The DIA/LIF receptor complex is a heterodimer of DIA/LIF receptor (DIA/LIF-R) and gp130. The latter is also a component of the interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor complex. We report that a combination of IL-6 and soluble IL-6...
