| Interleukin-1 IL-1 | IL-1 alpha | IL-1 beta | Interleukin-1beta | Lymphocyte-Activating Factor | CG Antigen-Specific Helper Factor | ETAF | Epidermal Cell Derived Thymocyte-Activating Factor | IL1 | Interleukin I | Interleukin-1 alpha | Interleukin-1 beta A soluble factor produced by monocytes, macrophages, and other cells which activates T-lymphocytes and potentiates their response to mitogens or antigens. IL-1 consists of two distinct forms, IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta which perform the same functions but are distinct proteins. The biological effects of IL-1 include the ability to replace macrophage requirements for T-cell activation. The factor is distinct from INTERLEUKIN-2. | |
