Understood. I certainly didn't think this gene was a definite slam dunk, just something that maybe strengthened the argument for JEs hypothesis. I hadn't realised that the IFNG/CD8 T CellI element was just from that one mouse model paper though.
It would be interesting if we could come up with...
It has a certain appeal! It sounds like something from an old sci fi film.
This does all look rather relevant to your hypothesis, unless I'm very much mistaken?
Does anyone have an opinion where the best place to donate currently is? Like through AfME or directly to Chris Ponting's lab? I understand the final pieces on finalising this study will be done by Chris and a small team on limited funding so maybe that is the best place to donate initally? Or...
As we discussed in the preprint thread, the fact this is downregulated and it inhibits CD8 T cells and IFNG might be relevant to JE et al's hypothesis and related theorising.
Maybe i should reply on bluesky but LDN and Baricitinib are already being thoroughly trialed (although I guess LDN is being trialed in ME). GLP1 is an interesting idea I suppose, not sure what the rationale is. As for SGB, I am really skeptical, but I suppose it's better to have a trial than not...
A massive thank you to the whole DecodeME team! I'm very grateful to everyone who made tonight possible. Lets hope its the start of an interesting and fruitful journey!
So if the gene inhibits the proliferation of CD4+CD8 t cells activated by IFNG does that provide evidence for or againsts JE et als hypothesis?
Inhibition would suggest against to me but I know little about these things.
