Abstract
Homogeneous catabolin from pig leucocytes induced proteoglycan breakdown, but not collagen breakdown, in explants of articular cartilage. It augmented lectin-induced proliferation of mouse thymocytes, stimulated production of prostaglandin E2 and collagenase by fibroblasts and chondrocytes, and increased Ca2+ release from mouse calvarial explants, all at concentrations down to 50 pM. In view of these effects it was concluded that pig catabolin is a form of interleukin 1.Entities:
