immune system
• peritoneal macrophages are able to secrete IL-1beta in the absence of ATP when activated in vitro
• bone marrow derived dendritic cells (DCs) spontaneously secrete high levels of IL1-beta in response to cold (32 degrees) incubation
• DCs also hypersecrete the mature form of IL-1beta in response to activation
• the maximal response is 150-fold greater than controls
• DCs are able to secrete IL1-beta without the presence of exogenous ATP

hematopoietic system
• peritoneal macrophages are able to secrete IL-1beta in the absence of ATP when activated in vitro
