To detect transcripts encoding the interleukin‐6 receptor (IL‐6R) molecule lacking the transmembrane (TM) domain, in various cell lines and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), we used the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with primer pairs that flank the TM domain and which were selected to generate a 398‐bp fragment. We detected 398‐bp and 304‐bp DNA molecules in the PCR products of the U1, J22HL60, MT‐2, MT‐4, U937 and HL60 cell lines and of PBMC isolated from several individuals. The…

It is confirmed that alternative splicing of IL‐6R mRNA is of consequence in ATL, HAM and in some autoimmune diseases, and the HTLV‐I‐infected T’cells appeared to play an important role in AS‐sIL‐ 6R production.
Major role of the soluble interleukin‐6/interleukin‐6 receptor complex for the proliferation of interleukin‐6‐dependent human myeloma cell lines

The results show that the levels of circulating sIL‐ 6R (and thus those of IL‐6/sIL‐6R complex) are worth looking at in pathologies involving IL‐8 hyperactivity, and the major role of the sIL-6R for sustaining the proliferation of these cell lines.

It is assumed that sIL‐6R produced by shedding should be involved in autocrine and paracrine loops in the HSC microenvironment and expression and production of IL‐ 6R are tightly regulated and stage specific.

The divergent control of these sIL‐6R isoforms indicates that they may independently influence the inflammatory response.

The results show that the expression of IL‐ 6R is low in the hepatoma cell PLC/PRF/5 when compared with primary hepatocytes and that this difference can, at least partly, explain their deficient responsiveness to IL‐6.

This finding, together with the already known presence of urinary TNF binding proteins and a soluble IL-2-R both in plasma and in urine, indicates that release of soluble cytokine receptors into body fluids is a general phenomenon that occurs under normal physiological conditions.

Results show that the HTLV-I neutralization epitope recognized by LAT-27 locates to the gp46 amino acids 191-196, and that immunization with a peptide containing the LAT- 27 epitope can elicit an HTLV -I neutralizing antibody response.

The results show that B SF-2 functions in vivo as well and suggest that the constitutive production of BSF-2 may be involved in autoantibody production, since patients with cardiac myxoma and uterine carcinoma showed autoant ibody production.
