n this report we compare the bioactivities of pure, human monocyte-derived interleukin 1 (IL-1) alpha and beta in the standard murine thymocyte proliferation assay, a human dermal fibroblast proliferation assay, and in an assay measuring stimulation of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) release from human rheumatoid synoviocytes. In each case the different species of IL-1 produced saturable stimulation and gave similar dose response curves. Half-maximal stimulation was observed at average IL-1 concentrations of 29 pM in the thymocyte assay, 2 pM in the dermal fibroblast proliferation assay, and 5 pM in the synovial cell assay. Our results show that native, monocyte-derived IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta are both potent stimulators of connective tissue cells and that the specific bioactivities of these molecules are similar to each other in tests on human connective tissue cells, as well as on murine lymphoid cells.

Having trouble reading a PDF?
PDFs are designed to be printed out and read, but if you prefer to read them online, you may find it easier if you increase the view size to 125%.
Having trouble saving a PDF?
Many versions of the free Acrobat Reader do not
allow Save. You must instead save the PDF from the JCI Online page you downloaded it from. PC users:
Right-click on the Download link and choose the option that says something like "Save Link As...".
Mac users should hold the mouse button down on the link to get these same options.
Having trouble printing a PDF?
- Try printing one page at a time or to a newer printer.
- Try saving the file to disk before printing rather than opening it "on the fly." This requires that you
configure your browser to "Save" rather than "Launch Application" for the file type "application/pdf", and can
usually be done in the "Helper Applications" options.
- Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe's Acrobat Reader.
