IFIT3 and infection: Immune-defense-related genes (Figure 6B), including those encoding C-type lectins (e.g., clec-5 and clec-10), an antimicrobial peptide (cnc-4), fungus-induced proteins (fipr-22 and fipr-26), a sugar transmembrane transporter (swt-7) and infection response genes (irg-1 and irg-2), were predominantly upregulated, with the exception of four C-type lectins (clec-52, clec-61, clec-76 and clec-265), which were suppressed.
