Significantly expressed cytokines and chemokines during SARS clinical evolutiona
Expression | Early (acute) SARS | Late SARS | |
---|---|---|---|
Non-severe SARS | Increased | IFN-α, IFN-γ, CXCL10, IL-8 | CXCL10, IL-8 |
Severe SARS | Increased | IFN-α, IFN-γ, CXCL10 | IL-8, CXCL10b, CCL2b |
Decreased | IL-12p70, IL-2, TNF-α | IL-12p70b, IL-2, TNF-αb, IFN-γ |
Compared to healthy controls (P < 0.05).
Also significantly different compared to non-severe SARS patients (P < 0.05).
