Signal transduction through the interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) pathway mediates a strong pro-inflammatory response, which contributes to a number of human diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Within the IL-1 family, IL-1alpha and IL-1beta are both agonistic ligands for IL-1R, whereas IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) is an endogenous antagonist that binds to IL-R, but does not signal. Therefore, the ideal...
