Abstract

Interleukin 1 (IL-1) is the name of two related but distinct polypeptides — IL-1 a and IL-1 β — that bind to the same receptor and have identical biological properties. The term interleukin 1 was introduced in 1979 (Aarden et al. 1979) to describe a product of macrophages that stimulated T cells and B cells but also had non-immunological properties. In contrast, interleukin-2 refers to the lymphocyte product with T-cell stimulating properties.
