IL-1α and IL-1β are prominent agonists mediating inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. Both are produced by macrophages, monocytes and dendritic cells. They are important part of the inflammatory response against infection. They increase the expression of adhesion factors on endothelial cells to enable transmigration of leukocytes to sites of infection. IL-1α is a pleiotropic cytokine involved in various immune responses, inflammatory processes, and hematopoiesis. It is produced by many cell types but is only secreted by monocytes and macrophages.
