Hierarchical cluster analysis and single-cell gene expression revealed that classically M1 and alternatively M2 activated macrophages as well as myeloid dendritic cells can independently distinguish the dormant and uninfected patient populations suggesting that a process that modulates neutrophil recruitment (C1QA, C1QB, LY86, SELL, CXCL5, CCL20, CD14, ITGAM), macrophage polarization (FOSB, JUN), immune checkpoint regulation (IFITM2, IFITM3, CST7, THBS1), and T-cell response (VISIG4, CD28, FYN, LAT2, FCGR3A, CD52) was occurring during dormant infection. The gene discussed is THBS1; the disease is infection.
