Susceptibility identification for seasonal influenza A/H3N2 based on baseline blood transcriptome.

Introduction: Influenza susceptibility difference is a widely existing trait that has great practical significance for the accurate prevention and control of influenza.

Methods: Here, we focused on the human susceptibility to the seasonal influenza A/H3N2 of healthy adults at baseline level. Whole blood expression data for influenza A/H3N2 susceptibility from GEO were collected firstly (30 symptomatic and 19 asymptomatic).
