title: The first two N-terminal immunoglobulin-like domains of soluble human IL-1 receptor type II are sufficient to bind and neutralize IL-1beta.
abstract: Two forms of soluble human type II interleukin (IL)-1 receptor (shIL-1RII) were generated, one consisting of the complete extracellular three immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domains and one containing only the first two N-terminal Ig-like domains. Both forms bound IL-1beta with a dissociation constant (K(d)) of 200 pM and neutralized IL-1beta in a bioassay. They did not bind or neutralize IL-1alpha. This demonstrates that the two Ig-like domains of shIL-1RII are sufficient to bind IL-1beta with an affinity comparable to full length shIL-1RII. This suggests that this short form of shIL-1RII contributes to the anti-inflammatory effect of soluble IL-1 receptors in vivo.
