title: [IL-6 gene expression in human tumor cell lines].
abstract: Using Northern blot techniques and IL-6-dependent cell line proliferating response method, the IL-6 gene expression in 8 sorts of human tumor cell lines and the IL-6 biologic activity in 5 sorts of medium were investigated. The results revealed that IL-6mRNA was positively expressed in 7 sorts of these cell lines and there were differential IL-6 biologic activity in 5 sorts of assayed medium. These results may providea basis for further research.
