Abnormal Interleukin-1 Receptor Type II Gene Expression in the Endometrium of Women with Endometriosis1
Biology of reproduction ·doi:10.1095/biolreprod66.2.401

Interleukin 1 (IL-1) is a major proinflammatory cytokine that is believed to play a central role in the pathophysiology of endometriosis. The IL-1 receptor type II (IL-1RII) is known to bind to IL-1 and to inhibit its biological effects. In…
