Interleukin 1 (IL-1) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) were measured by bioassays in suction-blister exudates from lesional skin, from skin immediately following a pressure challenge, and from control skin (not subjected to pressure) of patients with delayed pressure urticaria. IL-6 activity in lesional exudates was significantly higher than in exudates from the other two sites. IL-1 activity in lesional exudates was not significantly higher than in the control exudates, but significantly less IL-1 activity was found immediately after pressure challenge than from the control site.
