In addition, in patients with IPF, results from blood, lung tissue, and BALF samples revealed a significant co-expression association between CD247 and the 6 of 13 interacted genes (CD3E, ZAP70, LCK, FYN, JAK3, and PTPN3; Figure 6C). This evidence concerns the gene ZAP70 and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
