For instance, the new prediction that Th2 responses are higher and sustained in sOP children during AOM is derived from analyses of multiple input (CCL2, CCL5, IFNG, IL1B, IL23, IL4, IL6, IL7, and TNF) and output (IL4, IL6, and IL10) signals over the course of an AOM event. This evidence concerns the gene IL4 and infectious otitis media.
