Since after suppression of host IFN responses (IAV vs IAVdNS1 infection and pretreatment with ruxolitinib before SARS-CoV-2 infection, Fig. 2) there was a significant decrease in STAT1 upregulation as well as VILMIR upregulation, we predicted that VILMIR may be regulated by STAT1. This evidence concerns the gene STAT1 and infection.
