Furthermore, MERS-CoV infection can lead to the production of inflammatory cytokines, while resveratrol can reduce inflammation by interfering and inhibiting the NF-KB pathway (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells) protein complex functioning as a transcription factor that has a key role in regulating the immune response to infections, inflammatory processes, autoimmune diseases, septic shocks, viral infections, diseases of the immune system, and tumor processes. The gene discussed is NFKB1; the disease is immune system disorder.
