Primary structure and functional expression from complementary DNA of a human interleukin-1 receptor antagonist

S P Eisenberg et al. Nature. .

Abstract

Human monocytes induced with adherent IgG secrete an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist which could be important for the in vivo regulation of IL-1 activity. A complementary DNA for this molecule has been isolated from a human monocyte library. Analysis of monocyte RNA indicates that the gene is transcriptionally regulated. The sequence of the receptor antagonist indicates that it is structurally similar to IL-1 beta. Expression of the cDNA in Escherichia coli yields IL-1 receptor antagonist activity.
