An infant develops a fever secondary to a bacterial infection. The option that most likely triggered the fever is interleukin-1. This is a molecule responsible for the production of fever.
Interleukin-6 stimulates growth and differentiation of blood cells. Interleukin-10 helps decrease the immune response. Interferons protect against viral infections.
