Abstract
IL-6 has many novel activities both within the adaptive immune system and without. It has therapeutic potential in acute inflammation, such as toxic or septic shock, and it is a potential target for cachexia, multiple myeloma, and osteoporosis. Further work on these aspects of IL-6 biology should yield new insight into the possibility of IL-6 both as a therapeutic agent and as a target for antagonists.Entities:
