Health | A soluble factor produced by monocytes, macrophages, and other cells which activates T-lymphocytes and potentiates their response to mitogens or antigens. IL-1 consists of two distinct forms, IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta which perform the same functions but are distinct proteins. The biological effects of IL-1 include the ability to replace macrophage requirements for T-cell activation. The factor is distinct from interleukin-2. (references) |

Health | It has been proposed that CFS may be caused by an immunologic dysfunction, for example inappropriate production of cytokines, such as interleukin-1, or altered capacity of certain immune functions. (references) | |
Since interleukin-1 levels are found to increase in alveolar macrophage from patients with sarcoidosis, this suggests that certain viral genes can enhance the production of inflammatory components associated with sarcoidosis. (references) | ||
Various reports have suggested that elevated levels of certain immune system cytokines, e.g., interleukin-1 and interleukin-6, are associated with CFS. Findings among various research groups are inconsistent -- some observed a trend toward elevated cytokines and others did not -- but, as with NK cell assays, in no case were differences observed between CFS cases and controls sufficiently large to be diagnostic.
