Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a polypeptide produced by a variety of cells and contributes to the general host response to inflammation. It displays a wide spectrum of inflammatory, metabolic, physiological, haematopoietic and immunological activities. Brain cells, including neurones, microglia, endothelial cells and astrocytes can all produce IL-1 beta in response to various physiological and pathological stimuli. In this report we show that peripherally administered endotoxin stimulates the appearance of immunoreactive IL-1 beta (IL-1 beta) in the rat hypothalamus as measured by an ultrasensitive, highly specific enzyme amplified immunometric assay for rat IL-1 beta.
白细胞介素-1(IL-1)是一种由多种细胞产生的多肽,它参与机体对炎症的整体反应。它具有广泛的炎症、代谢、生理、造血和免疫活性。包括神经元、小胶质细胞、内皮细胞和星形胶质细胞在内的脑细胞,在受到各种生理和病理刺激时均能产生IL-1β。在本报告中,我们发现通过一种针对大鼠IL-1β的超灵敏、高度特异性酶放大免疫测定法检测,外周给予内毒素可刺激大鼠下丘脑出现免疫反应性IL-1β(IL-1β)。
