On the other hand, in parallel with the gene expression profile, influenza H5N1 virus elicited more IP-10 (CXCL-10) secretion in BMDMΦ than mock (p = 0.001), influenza H1N1 (54/98) (p = 0.05) and WSN/33 virus infected cells (p = 0.05) after 24 hours post-infection. This evidence concerns the gene CXCL10 and infection.
