Molecular and functional characterization of interleukin-1β in red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) and its pivotal role in antibacterial immunity.

As a critical early-stage pro-inflammatory cytokine, interleukin-1β (IL-1β) plays a critical role in modulating immune and inflammatory responses during infection. It mediates these effects by signaling through the interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R), the…
