Using a chemotaxis assay, it was demonstrated that EHV-1 upregulates the expression of CXCL9, CXCL10, eBD2, and 3 in EREC and induces the recruitment of CD172a+ cells and T lymphocytes to the site of infection (Poelaert et al., 2019c; Van Cleemput et al., 2020). The gene discussed is SIRPA; the disease is infection.
