However, little is known about the participation of CXCL17 against relevant respiratory pathogens in humans.

Objectives: To describe the kinetics of circulating cytokines and chemokines in humans with ZIKAV infection.
Methods: Serum levels of different immune mediators in patients with ZIKAV infection were measured at distinct stages of the disease, as well as in culture supernatants from human monocytes infected with a clinical ZIKAV isolate. We also looked for clinical features associated with specific immune signatures among symptomatic patients.
