Further, the concentration of sCD163 in the supernatants, and the mRNA expression of cytokines such as IFN-β, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α in the CD163-modified cells did not change before and after the viral infection (Figure 2), which is consistent with the results reported by Burkard et al. (2017). This evidence concerns the gene CXCL8 and viral infectious disease.
