MMP7 and infection: Among the genes upregulated after the infection, induction rates greater than 100 fold were observed for MMP7, IgG, IRG1, SAA, ExFABP, IL-22, TRAP6, MRP126, IFNγ, iNOS, ES1, IL-1β, LYG2, IFIT5, IL-17, AVD, AH221 and SERPIN B. On the other hand, genes which exhibited the highest expression levels, irrespective of their fold increase, included AVD, ExFABP, ES1, IgG, IgA, AH221, PTGDS, SAA, MMP7, RSFR, LYG2 and TRAP6.
