IL-1α is required for the optimal IL-1β production and protection against sub-lethal IAV infection. Sex- and age-matched mice were infected with 1 LD50 of IAV via the intra-nasal route (A, B). Percentages of survived mice against IAV infection are shown for Il1r1- and Il1a-deficient mice (N: numbers of the analyzed mice) (C). IL-1β or (D) IL-1α concentrations of BALF from Il1r1+/-, Il1r1-/-, Il1a+/- or Il1a-/- mice on day 3 after IAV infection were measured by ELISA (N = 10–12 per group) (E and F). The lung tissues stained by H&E are shown for the Il1r1+/-, Il1r1-/-, Il1a+/- or Il1a-/- mice on day 3 after IAV infection. Statistical significances between each survival curve for the mice were determined by log-rank (Mantel–Cox) test (A and B). Error bars represent mean ± SD. ns, not significant; nd, not detected. ***P < 0.001.
