Specifically, these cells act as a part of the first-line defense against bacterial, fungal, and viral infections during host immune responses [1] by expressing high levels of proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interferon (IFN)-γ, and interleukin (IL)-1β, and cytotoxic molecules such as nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) [2,3]. The gene discussed is TNF; the disease is viral infectious disease.
