Abstract excerpt
The phylogeny of interleukin-1 family genes shows that human interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) is more closely related to IL-1 alpha of the bovine than to IL-1 alpha of the mouse, whereas human interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) is more closely related to IL-1 beta of the mouse than to IL-1 beta of the bovine. The IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) shows homology to the C-terminal region of both IL-1 alpha and IL-1...
