Sex chromosome complement contributes to sex differences in coxsackievirus B3 but not influenza A virus pathogenesis

@WoollerEmma @Bluebirdlouise @RorPreston Snap! 😁 https://t.co/FAftZuhHaS

@Bluebirdlouise @RorPreston Pathogens can also have different effects at different ages, on different sexes, with different diets/microbiomes/genetics. CVB3 is associated with several diseases, including myocarditis & ME. There may be a survivor bias

@RealYeyoZa @IonaItalia The immune system reflects sex chromosomes more than hormones as well. XX males closer to XX females than XY males. XY females closer to XY males than XX females. https://t.co/s94pNVhwO9

@YakaShinobi Kind of skimmed through this but there's seems to be a fair bit on sex differences in the immune system. Not just effects of hormones, but impact of Foxp3 (master regulator of regulatory T cells) being on the X chromosome. https://t.co/s94pN
