Abstract
Synthetic peptides immobilized on cellulose membranes proved to be a powerful tool for the identification of sites in the cytokine IL-6 involved in receptor binding. Similarly, a region in the extracellular part of the IL-6 receptor which is important for interaction with its ligand was identifiedKeywords
