However, upregulated proteins in advanced-stage DLBCL patients were enriched in inflammation and cellular immunity processes, including cellular response to cytokine stimulus, cytokine-mediated signaling pathway, cytokine production, neutrophil activation, neutrophil-mediated immunity, cellular response to interferon-gamma, and toll-like receptor signaling pathway, etc. (Fig. 2F). Here, IFNG is linked to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
