The 4-fold upregulation of the CR2 gene in our study, as well as the NTCI peptide-linked correction of thrombocytopenia in sepsis, as previously reported by us (15), bode well for the NTCI peptide’s utility in sepsis caused not only by bacteria but also by Dengue Virus, and other hemorrhagic viral infections. The gene discussed is CR2; the disease is Sepsis.
