Immunoreactive interleukin-1β localization in the rat forebrain

Abstract

To determine whether the cytokine, interleukin-1 beta, is present in the rat brain as has been reported in human brain, immunocytochemical studies were performed using an antiserum that recognizes recombinant, rat IL-1 beta. Immunoreaction product was present in the periventricular and medial hypothalamus, mossy fiber distribution in the hippocampus and olfactory tubercle. These studies demonstrate that IL-1 beta is part of a diffuse intrinsic neural system in the rat central nervous system, associated with regions involved with hypophysiotropic, autonomic, limbic and extrapyramidal functions.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • High abundance of IL-1β has been described in steady-state in the hippocampus and hypothalamus of rats.

    “Especially in the hippocampus and hypothalamus, high abundance of IL-1β has been described in steady-state in rats already in 1990, in regions of the brain conducting essential and conserved brain functions as memory and learning processes (202).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
