Abstract:BackgroundCXCL17 is chemotactic for myeloid cells, exhibits broad-spectrum bactericidal activity, and is expressed in mucosal tissues. This chemokine is constitutively expressed in the respiratory tract, suggesting a role for CXCL17 in lung defenses. However, little is known about the possible participation of CXCL17 during respiratory infections in humans. Here, we evaluated the role of CXCL17 as a biomarker in patients with severe pandemic influenza A(H1N1) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). MethodsWe … Show more
