## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The principal components of the interleukin‐1 (IL‐1) family are two secreted factors (IL‐1α and IL‐1β), two transmembrane receptors (IL‐1RI [biologically active] and IL‐1RII [inert receptor]), and a natural antagonist receptor of IL‐1 function (IL‐1Ra). Changes in the exp
Proinflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1, are known to modulate effects of neurotoxic neurotransmitters discharged during excitation or inflammation in the central nervous system (CNS). They also regulate development of glial scars at sites of CNS injury. To elucidate a genetic predi
