Additional independent infection experiments confirmed the abortive SARS-CoV-2 infection in human monocyte-derived DC and macrophages in vitro and corroborated the induction of antiviral and proinflammatory cytokines, including IFN-α/β, TNF, IL-1β, -6, and -10, as well as CXCL10, leading to type I IFN–mediated host cell death (123). This evidence concerns the gene IFNA1 and infection.
