To model human interleukin-6 (hIL-6) associated diseases, unique mice with transgenic overexpression of human IL-6 and reporter fluorescent protein EGFP in cells of macrophage-monocyte lineage were generated using loxP–Cre system. High level of hIL-6 production by macrophages and monocytes, as confirmed in vitro in primary culture of bone marrow-derived macrophages, in vivo resulted in early postnatal death in vivo, presumably, due to the effect of overexpression of hIL-6 on hematopoiesis.
