Specifically, TNFα (Fig. 4d–f, Supplementary Fig. 5h), IL-1β (Fig. 4g–i, Supplementary Fig. 5i), IL-6 (Supplementary Fig. 5a–c, k), IL-10 (Supplementary Fig. 5d–f, l), and type I interferons (IFN-β) (Fig. 4j–l, Supplementary Fig. 5j) decreased early during infection in all three regimes of mice immunization with rVSV-HTNV-GP. This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and infection.
