In contrast, conserved proteins across wild-type and Omicron infections included several acute-phase response proteins, such as lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP, Figure 5A), alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP, Figure 5B,C), and Galectin-3-binding protein (Gal-3BP, Figure 5D). This evidence concerns the gene ORM1 and infection.
