Constitutive production of Interleukin-1 by the human continuous cell line, CM-S.
Supernatants from the human continuous cell line, CM-S, have been tested for Interleukin-1 (IL-1) activity and found to constitutively elaborate this factor. The CM-S-produced IL-1 activity has been partially purified and shown to be similar to IL-1 produced by human and mouse peripheral blood macrophages. To the best of our knowledge this is the first continuous human cell line reported that produces this monokine.
