Summary Interleukin-1β (IL-1β), belongs to the interleukin-1 (IL-1) cytokine family. It is a pro-inflammatory cytokine and key in mediating body's responses to microbial infection, immunological reactions, and tissue injury. Processing of IL-1β precursor to active form can be done using various proteases. It is involved in mediating inflammation, initiating or increasing a wide variety of non-structural, function associated genes that are usually expressed during inflammation. There are now full cDNA sequences and genomic organisation of IL-1 beta taken from bird, amphibian, bony fish and cartilaginous fish, with many of these genes having been obtained using an homology cloning approach [1,2].
