Based on the findings described above, we especially selected 11 cytokines that would be involved in the inflammation pathway in COVID-19, i.e., SDF-1, SCYB16, sCD30, IL-11, IL-18, IL-8, IFN-γ, TNF-α, sTNF-R2, M-CSF, and I-309 (Supplementary Figure S3). The gene discussed is CXCL16; the disease is COVID-19.
