TLR7 stimulation of neutrophils in the presence or absence of platelets for 30 min did not lead to detectable release of IL-8, citrullinated H3, or CCL5 (all values were below values for incubation media); CCL5 changes were not detected in plasma of influenza patients as compared to control (Supplementary Fig. 15). This evidence concerns the gene TLR7 and influenza.
