The cytokine interleukin-1 beta may have an important role in the autoimmune mediated damage of pancreatic Beta cells in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. In the present study we have investigated the effects of an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist protein, a blocker of the type I interleukin-1 r

A major limitation in the successful development of multidose protein formulations is protein aggregation induced by antimicrobial preservatives such as benzyl alcohol, which are included to maintain product sterility. Studies were conducted to evaluate the strategy of developing lyophilized formula
## Abstract ## Objective To determine the effects of hypoxia and reoxygenation on the metabolism of chondrocytes and their response to interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β). The study included activation of hypoxia‐inducible factor 1 (HIF‐1), NF‐κB, and activator protein 1 (AP‐1) transcription factors, expressio
Benzyl alcohol, a preservative commonly added to multidose therapeutic protein formulations, can accelerate aggregation of recombinant human interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (rhIL-1ra). To investigate the interactions between benzyl alcohol and rhIL-1ra, we used nuclear magnetic resonance to observ
