| IL-1 |
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is secreted by the macrophages, monocytes and dendritic cells. It is an important part of the inflammatory response. It increases the expression of adhesion factors on endothelial cells to enable transmigration of leukocytes. It also re-sets the hypothalamus thermoregulatory center, leading to an increased body temperature which expresses itself as fever. It is therefore called an endogenous pyrogen. ...

| IL-1 |
Produced by activated macrophages, endothelial cells, and B cells, IL-1 is a cytokine that induces inflammatory responses. As a proinflammatory cytokine, IL-1 has a role in immune, degradative, and growth-promoting processes. Belonging to this class of cytokines, IL-1?and IL-1a are agonists while IL-1Ra is an antagonist of the IL-1 receptor.
