Abstract: 

Mediators of the immune system including interferons, tumor necrosis factor find interleukins have excited great interest as pharmacological agents. Although interleukin 1 has long been known to play a pivotal role in immune reactions, only since its molecular structure has been determined has it become clear that it also regulates the growth and activity of many cells, predominantly those involved in inflamiration. Michael Martin and Klaus Resch review the properties of IL-1, it receptor and its possible pharmacological value.Mediators of the immune system including interferons, tumor necrosis factor find interleukins have excited great interest as pharmacological agents.
