description

Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a polypeptide synthesized as a high-mol.-wt. precursor and subsequently secreted after proteolytic cleavage to 17500-dalton active forms in murine [1] and human cells [2]. Recently, cDNAs for murine [3] and for two distinct human IL-1 species, IL-1α and IL- 1β, have been isolated, sequenced, and cloned [2, 4].
