IPA from SIV- to SIV+ comparison showed enrichment of pathways such as hypercytokinemia/hyperchemokinea in viral infection (CASP1, CXCL10, IFIT3, IL1RN, IRF7, IRF9, ISG15, MX1, OAS2), pathogen-induced cytokine storm signaling (CCL7, CD163, CGAS, CXCL10, CXCL11, SPI1, DHX58, TLR1, TLR3, TLR7, TLR8), and interferon signaling (CCL7, CD86, ICAM1, JAK2, LAT2, MYD88, NLRC5) (Figure 1B). This evidence concerns the gene MX1 and viral infectious disease.
