Description from GEO: "Humans show remarkable variation in susceptibility to infectious diseases as well as chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. This heterogeneity arises partially from variation in the immune response, which is responsible for preventing and controlling infection. To better understand the major factors driving antiviral immune response differences, we used single-cell...

Description from BioProject: "Humans differ in their susceptibility to infectious disease, partly due to variation in the immune response following infection. We used single-cell RNA-sequencing to quantify variation in the response to influenza infection in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from European- and African-ancestry males. Genetic ancestry effects are common but highly cell type-specific....
