Furthermore, UEVs from PB demonstrated significantly heightened levels of MCP-1 (p = 0.003), IL-6 (p = 0.041), IL-17A (p = 0.007), IP-10 (p = 0.036), TNFα (p = 0.004), IL-12 (p = 0.045), and IFNγ (p = 0.030) relative to those from TB, indicative of altered M1 and Th17 differentiation. The gene discussed is IL17A; the disease is tuberculosis.
