Interestingly, discrimination analysis identified a number of T cell-related genes (e.g., IL7R, LY9, and TCP1) that were uniquely upregulated with Makona-C07 infection, which may reflect aberrant T cell activation associated with fatal outcomes in EVD patients (Baize et al., 1999; Agrati et al., 2016). This evidence concerns the gene LY9 and infection.
