Other IL1 responsive lines:
   EL4.NOB-1 - murine T-cell line (transfects very well)
   KB - epithelial..  I don't know about it's ability to transfect but I
suspect it should be OK
   Hela cells also respond to IL1 and should be transfectable.

   I have used all the above cell lines for NFkappaB assays in response to IL1.
