Strikingly, the four chemokines: Ccl2, Cxcl9, Cxcl10, and Cxl11, involved in the COVID-19 cytokine storm and found upregulated in both species in the present work, were also found to be overexpressed upon type I interferon application in vitro (57, 58). The gene discussed is CCL2; the disease is COVID-19.
