Anti-HBV activity of IL-1β in hepatoma cells. (a-d) Huh7 cells were transfected with HBV 1.3-mer WT plasmids and cultivated for 24h in the absence (PBS) or presence of IL-1β (100 and 200 ng/ml); (e-h) HepG2.2.15 cells were stimulated with 0 and 200ng/ml IL-1β for 48h; Cells were harvested and subjected to RT-qPCR. The HBsAg and HBeAg in the supernatant were analyzed using ELISA. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001
