Transcriptomic Biomarkers Analysis
Transcriptomic Biomarker Analysis – COVID-19
COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has led to a global pandemic with severe public health impacts. Gene expression analysis in infected patients helps to better understand the immune response, identify severity biomarkers, and support the development of targeted treatments.
Genes Analyzed in COVID-19
Our panel targets key biomarkers associated with immune response, systemic inflammation, and immune cell activation, including:
IL-6 – Pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in the cytokine storm observed in severe COVID-19 cases
TNF-α – Key pro-inflammatory cytokine in the acute immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection
CXCL10 (IP-10) – Chemokine associated with inflammation and immune cell recruitment in lung tissues
IFN-β (Interferon-beta) – Key antiviral cytokine in innate immunity, often impaired in severe COVID-19 cases
ACE2 (Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2) – Critical receptor for SARS-CoV-2 entry into human cells, particularly in lung cells
TGF-β – Cytokine involved in inflammation regulation and tissue healing, altered in severe COVID-19 cases
CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes – Adaptive immune response markers linked to infection control
MMP-9 – Enzyme involved in extracellular matrix degradation, associated with lung inflammation and tissue damage
