When cytokine levels were evaluated in the culture media of PBMCs derived from healthy individuals and COVID-19 patients, a higher tendency to secrete cytokines such as IL-1b, TNF, IL-6, INFg, IL-17, MCP-1, and IL-10 was observed in cells exposed to SARS-COV2 infection. The gene discussed is CCL2; the disease is COVID-19.
