In addition, the expression of Ifnb1 in the lymphocytes of melioidosis patients was upregulated compared with that in other sepsis cases [40]. Ifi202b, a member of the interferon- (Ifn-) inducible Ifi200 gene family, encodes p202b, which is Ifn-inducible, and differs from p202a with only 7 of 445 amino acids. This evidence concerns the gene IFNB1 and Sepsis.
