Likewise, previously we shown the increased levels of two CXCR3 ligands—CXCL10/IP-10 and CXCL9/MIG—in blood plasma from COVID-19 patients during acute phase of the disease (as compared to control group) [9], and high levels of plasma chemokines could affect the biological properties of these CXCR3-expressing cells. The gene discussed is CXCR3; the disease is COVID-19.
