In addition, among the biological functions related to these proteins, 15 differentially expressed proteins (DEFA1, S100A9, LCN2, S100A8, IGHM, HIST1H2BK, IGJ, PRDX2, ACTB, FGA, CD14, HP, FCGR3A, TIMP1, APOE), classified in infectious disease, were significantly associated with viral infection (p-value: 2.58E-05). Here, CD14 is linked to viral infectious disease.
