As highlighted in Figure 3, within this proteome analysis, there were only 14 mainly inflammatory proteins (CXCL10, CXCL11, CXCL5, Gal-9, INF-gamma, IL-18, IL-18R1, LIF-R, MCP-2, MCP-3, MERTK, MMP-1, PD-L1, and TNF) that differed significantly (p < 0.001) between COVID-19 patients (hospitalized and non-hospitalized) compared to those with a symptomatic non-COVID-19 diagnosis. Here, LGALS9 is linked to COVID-19.
