Abstract excerpt
To identify the sites important for the different biological activities of human interleukin-1 alpha (hIL-1 alpha), 56 single-amino acid-substituted mutants of hIL-1 alpha were produced in Escherichia coli using site-directed mutagenesis, and were examined for their biological activities such as...
