Previous observations regarding MCP-1 downregulation during late times of infection (Jarvis et al., 2006; Hamilton et al., 2013; Naing et al., 2015) were also observed, and identified RNA1.2 as the sole or major contributor to this effect, which is likely to be driven at least in part by its downregulation of TPRG1L. This evidence concerns the gene CCL2 and infection.
