Interleukin-1 (medicine)


interleukin-1
<cytokine> A soluble protein (17 kD: 152 amino acids) secreted by monocytes, macrophages or accessory cells involved in the activation of both T-lymphocytes and B lymphocytes and potentiates their response to antigens or mitogens.

Its biological effects include the ability to replace macrophage requirements for T-cell activation, as well as affecting a wide range of Other cell types. at least two IL-1 genes are active and alpha and beta forms of IL-1 are recognised.

It is released early in an immune system response by monocytes and macrophages. It stimulates T-cell proliferation and protein synthesis. Another effect of IL-1 is that it causes fever.

See: catabolin, endogenous pyrogen.
