The cytokine interleukin 1 (IL-1) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of human RA. The naturally occurring antagonist of IL-1, recombinant human secreted interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (sIL-1ra), is a glycoprotein which competitively binds IL-1 receptors without eliciting cell activation.
