A-115 Direct single cell-type transcript abundance (DIRECT LS-TA) assay of Monocyte Interferon (IFN) gene expression as biomarker of viral infection: better performance than IFN score

Blood transcriptome has been explored to differentiate bacterial and viral infections. However, gene expression in blood represents a composite score of gene expression of all the component cell-types present in the sample. In most proposed signatures, numerous genes need to be measured. Here, we propose to devel...
