By contrast, and potentially related to the high myeloid content observed in these patients, the hematopoietic innate cytokines M-CSF and GM-CSF levels were higher in M-COV1/2 and COV-ICU patients (Figures 5E, F), compared to HC and IPF subjects and returned to almost normal values in M-COV-3 patients. The gene discussed is CSF2; the disease is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
