Thank you for your questions. �We did not notice any significant behavioral differences in the rats given either sense or antisense to the IL-1RI. �The difference occurred when the rats where challenged with IL-1.

The second question is an interesting one. �The effect of IL-1beta on the calcium channel is indirect through protein kinase C and via IL-1RI since IL-1 receptor antagonist completely blocks IL-1beta-induced modulation of the calcium channel currents. �We have data that suggest the involvement of the L-type calcium channel. �Carlos

>Dr. Plata-Salaman: I am glad to see your nice presentation and hope you enjoy the meeting. Two quick questions. �First, what is the effect of antisense-IL-1R in the rats not given IL-1b? �Second, is the effect of IL-1 directly on Ca-channel? �Do you know which channel and at what site? �That would be rather interesting.
