With respect to tumor size, tumors in L2-IL1B mice (9 months 1.75 ± 0.89 SD, 12 months 2.25 ± 0,71 SD) trended smaller than those in L2-IL1B.mTERC−/− G2 mice (9 months 2.11 ± 0.60 SD, 12 months 2.63 ± 0.52 SD), although there was no significant difference between the groups (p = 0.11, one-way ANOVA, Tukey’s post-hoc test, Figure 3C). Here, IL1B is linked to neoplasm.
