We first investigated the correlation between the maximum increases in magnitudes (fold-rises between maximum responses at any time point of infection versus day 2) of LTB-specific ALS and plasma IgA responses versus the maximum increases in magnitudes of IL-17A and IFN-γ responses induced by stimulation with dmLT, resulting in several significant correlations, as described below. This evidence concerns the gene CD79A and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
