Human interleukin-1 protein (271 aa, 31 kD precursor) is encoded by the human interleukin-1 (IL1) gene. This soluble protein is produced primarily by monocytes and macrophages. It activates and potentiates T-lymphocyte responses to mitogens or antigens. This protein is also capable of replacing macrophage requirements for T-cell activation
