Single-Cell and Bulk RNA-Sequencing Reveal Differences in Monocyte Susceptibility to Influenza A Virus Infection Between Africans and Europeans

There is considerable inter-individual and inter-population variability in response to viruses.The potential of monocytes to elicit type-I interferon responses has attracted attention to their role in viral infections.Here, we use single-cell RNA-sequencing to characterize the role of cellular heterogeneity in human variation of monocyte responses
