A Taql polymorphism in the human interleukin-1β (IL-1β) gene correlates with IL-1β secretion in vitro

TL;DR: It is concluded that the 13.4 kb allele represents an IL‐1β‘high‐secretor’ phenotype, that the observed RFLP may be a genetic susceptibility marker for IDDM in non‐DR3 and non-DR4 individuals and that high IL‐ 1β secretory capacity may be an pathogenic factor for ID DM in these patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cytotoxicity of human pI 7 interleukin-1 for pancreatic islets of Langerhans.

TL;DR: Monocyte-derived pI 7 IL-1 may contribute to islet cell damage and therefore to the development of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Affinity-purified human Interleukin I is cytotoxic to isolated islets of Langerhans

TL;DR: It is suggested that Interleukin-1 may play an important role in the molecular mechanisms underlying autoimmune B-cell destruction leading to Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus.
