In particular, the cytokines MCP1, MIP-1alpha, MIP-1beta, and IP-10 are often overexpressed in patients that experience more severe COVID-19 symptoms in what is characterized as “cytokine storms” [23,24]; we observed significantly more abundant plasma levels of these cytokines in the LN group compared to the HN group (Figure 3). The gene discussed is CCL4L2; the disease is COVID-19.
