We have found fifteen cytokines that remain upregulated in convalescent COVID-19 individuals one month after infection (IL-1α, IL-3, IL-10, IL-12p70, CCL7, IFN-α2, bFGF, LIF, TRAIL, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-12p40, IL-17 and MIF) indicating a strong activation of the immune response. The gene discussed is TNFSF10; the disease is infection.
