Expression of interleukin 1 in burn scars.
A histochemical study using a Biotin-Streptavidin procedure for demonstrating interleukin 1 (IL-1) in burn scar specimens is described. Among seventeen scar specimens, five positive reactions to IL-1 were observed in the epidermis. No positive reactions in the dermal tissue, however, were detected. The twenty specimens of normal skin used as controls showed no positive reaction in either the dermis or the dermis.
