The production of interleukin-1 (IL-1) by cultured parenchymal liver cells was revealed by a biological assay with an IL-1-dependent cell line, Northern blot analysis, and in situ hybridization. Inhibition experiments on the IL-1 activity with anti IL-1 alpha antibody also support the presence of IL-1 alpha in the supernatant of cultured parenchymal liver cells. Based on these results, we discuss the possibility of IL-1 production by parenchymal liver cells in vivo.
通过使用白细胞介素-1(IL-1)依赖细胞系的生物测定、Northern印迹分析和原位杂交,揭示了培养的肝实质细胞可产生IL-1。用抗IL-1α抗体对IL-1活性进行的抑制实验也支持培养的肝实质细胞上清液中存在IL-1α。基于这些结果,我们讨论了肝实质细胞在体内产生IL-1的可能性。
