Furthermore, influenza infection augmented the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1), vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) and E-selectin on human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) [68,69]. The gene discussed is VCAM1; the disease is influenza.
