Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist activity of a human interleukin-1 inhibitor

Nature. 1990 Jan 25;343(6256):336-40. doi: 10.1038/343336a0.

Abstract

Three interleukin-1 inhibitors have been purified to homogeneity from medium conditioned by human monocytes. Partial sequence analysis and digestion with N-glycanase indicate that these are glycosylation forms of a single protein. The protein binds to the interleukin-1 receptor but has no interleukin-1-like activity, even at very high concentrations, and is therefore a pure receptor antagonist.
