Three molecular forms of the IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) have been identified and cloned. Secreted IL-1ra (sIL-1ra or IL-1ra1) contains a classical leader peptide giving a released mature protein. Two intracellular isoforms, icIL-1ra type I (IL-1ra2) and icIL-1ra type II (IL-1ra3), have no lea

The eye is considered an immunologically privileged organ and is separated from the rest of the body by blood-ocular barriers. Part of the blood-retina barrier consists of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). In addition to the physical barrier which the monolayer of RPE cells forms, these cells co
Interleukin (IL)-1-like protein 1 (IL-1L1) is a 155-amino acid protein that shares 27% identity with IL-1 g and 47% with IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra). A 2.7-kb IL-1L1 mRNA was cloned from human placenta and is detectable in the trophoblastic cell line JEG-3, in macrophages and in endotoxin-stim
