CXCL10 and infection: Regarding innate immunity, SARS-CoV-2 infection of enterocytes was found to induce a strong IFN response and the production of cytokines (e.g., the IFNγ-inducible cytokine CXCL10 known to bind CXCR3 receptor and to induce inflammation) (97), similar to that observed during infection of respiratory tissues (196).
