IL6 and infection: Remarkably, CSF2 (encoding granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor), IL-6 (interleukin-6), IL-12B (interleukin-12 subunit beta), CSF3 (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor), and TNF (tumor necrosis factor) were extremely highly expressed upon infection with WT V. vulnificus (log2 FC > 8).
