It has been documented that COVID-19 infected patients with cytokine storm manifest high levels of cytokines, together with higher plasma levels of various interleukins (IL), including IL-2, IL-6, IL-7, IL-10, Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), Interferon gamma (IFNγ), Microtubule-associated protein 1 alpha, and Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) (Costela-Ruiz et al., 2020; Mehta et al., 2020). Here, IFNG is linked to COVID-19.
