From: Genome-wide analysis of primary peripheral blood mononuclear cells from HIV + patients-pre-and post- HAART show immune activation and inflammation the main drivers of host gene expression

Gene annotation

p-value

Cell function

Regulation

IFI6

p < = 0.001198

Regulation of apoptosis

Down

IFN- β*

p < = 0.001647

Antiviral activity which is Mainly involved in innate immune response

Down

IFN-γ*

p < = 0.008242

Critical for innate and adaptive immunity against Viral and intracellular bacterial infections and for tumor control

Down

p < = 0.005439

An important mediator of the inflammatory response, and is involved in a variety of cellular activities, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis

Down

IL-6*

p < = 0.002616

Acts as both a pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine; stimulate immune response

Down

IL1RN

p < = 0.0007325
