Interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) is an acute-phase protein. [PDF]
Interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) levels are elevated in the blood of patients with a variety of infectious, immune, or traumatic conditions. To examine whether IL1Ra is produced by liver cells with characteristics resembling an acute-phase protein, human primary hepatocytes isolated from liver biopsies and HepG2 hepatoma cells were stimulated

Early production of IL-22 but not IL-17 by peripheral blood mononuclear cells exposed to live Borrelia burgdorferi: the role of monocytes and interleukin-1 [PDF]
If insufficiently treated, Lyme borreliosis can evolve into an inflammatory disorder affecting skin, joints, and the CNS. Early innate immunity may determine host responses targeting infection. Thus, we sought to characterize the immediate cytokine storm

COVID-19 affects several human genes, each with its own p-value. The combination of drugs associated with these genes with small p-values may lead to an estimation of the combined p-value between COVID-19 and some drug combinations, thereby increasing ...

The Clinical Significance of Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist +2018 Polymorphism in Rheumatoid Arthritis. [PDF]
Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) acts as an inhibitor of IL-1; which is one of the culprit cytokines in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Although +2018 polymorphism of IL-1Ra has been implicated in the pathogenesis of RA, its importance remains ...

Induction of the interleukin 1 receptor antagonist protein by transforming growth factor‐β
AbstractTransforming growth factor‐β1 (TGF‐β1) mediates many immunosuppressive effects on immune cells and can inhibit the production of tumor necrosis factor and interleukin 1 (IL 1). However, TGF‐β1 can stimulate the production of IL6 and platelet‐derived growth factor, indicating that TGF‐β1 initiates complex effects on the production of cytokines ...

Soluble interleukin‐1 receptor accessory protein ameliorates collagen‐induced arthritis by a different mode of action from that of interleukin‐1 receptor antagonist [PDF]
AbstractObjectiveTo discern the mode of interleukin‐1 (IL‐1) inhibition of soluble IL‐1 receptor accessory protein (sIL‐1RAcP) by comparison with IL‐1 receptor antagonist (IL‐1Ra) in arthritis.MethodsAdenoviral vectors encoding either sIL‐1RAcP or IL‐1Ra were administered systemically before onset of collagen‐induced arthritis in DBA/1 mice.
