Murine Il-6 cDNAs were isolated by cross-hybridization with a human IL-6 cDNA from an IL-1 activated bone marrow stromal cell line (W20). Mouse-hamster somatic cell hybrids were utilized to localize murine Il-6 to chromosome 5. Genetic mapping with respect to En-2, AlbH, and Gus in backcross progeny from an interspecific mating between C57BL/6J and Mus spretus positioned Il-6 3 cM distal to En-2. The syntenic relationships of Il-6 and En-2 in mouse and man, as well as the potential role of IL-6 in tumorigenesis, are discussed.
