Abstract

Peptides that bind to the interleukin-1 type I receptor (IL-1RtI) can be used to assay the amount of IL-1R, or an IL-1R agonist or antagonist, in a sample and comprise a sequence of amino acids selected from the group consisting of (1) WXXXGZ.sub.1 W (SEQ ID NO: 1) where Z.sub.1 is L, I, A, or Q; (2) XXQZ.sub.5 YZ.sub.6 XX (SEQ ID NO: 6) where Z.sub.5 is P or Aze where Aze is azetidine; and Z.sub.6 is S, A, V, or L; and (3) Z.sub.23 NZ.sub.24 SZ.sub.25 Z.sub.26 Z.sub.27 Z.sub.28 Z.sub.29 Z.sub.30 L (SEQ ID NO: 17) where Z.sub.23 is D or Y; Z.sub.24 is D or S; Z.sub.25 is S or W; Z.sub.26 is S or Y; Z.sub.27 is D or V; Z.sub.28 is S or W; Z.sub.29 is F or L; and Z.sub.30 is D or L; and where each amino acid is indicated by standard one letter abbreviation; and each X can be selected from any one of the 20 genetically coded L-amino acids or the stereoisomeric D-amino acids.
