abstract：:Interleukin 1beta (IL-1) is cytotoxic to rat pancreatic beta-cells in vitro, and increased expression of IL-1 mRNA is found in the islets of Langerhans during development of diabetes in BB/Wor/Mol-BB2 (BB-DP) rats and NOD mice. It has been proposed that IL-1 induces a race between protective and deleterious proteins i...
