Human interleukin-1 receptor antagonist. High yield expression in E. coli and examination of cysteine residues.

The human IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) was produced in a high yield E. coli expression system, and was purified in a rapid two-step purification. This recombinant IL-1ra molecule possessed full binding activity to the IL-1 receptor (type I) and totally inhibited IL-1-induced PGE2 production by...
