Additionally, we only detected significant up-regulation of transcripts involved in the acute-phase response in FM-vaccinates prior to infection with Asal, such as alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein (Fetuin-A, FC = 17.3), serum albumin 1 (FC = 13.6), ladderlectin (FC = 13.1), apolipoprotein B-100 (FC = 12.5), and apolipoprotein A-I-1 (FC = 12.4). Here, AHSG is linked to infection.
