Molecular characterization of an IL-1β gene from the large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) and its effect on fish defense against Vibrio alginolyticus infection

Interleukin 1β (IL-1β), the first interleukin to be characterized, plays a key role in regulating the immune response. In this study, we determined the cDNA and genomic DNA sequences of the IL-1β gene from the large yellow croaker, Larimichthys crocea. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the IL-1β...
