Moreover, viral mutation can be correlated with host gene expression status at the single-cell level to further investigate their potential mutual effect on one another throughout the course of infection and reveal the dynamic host responses and pathogen adaptations in the progression of infection [32] . Technologies that enable the simultaneous measurement of multiple parameters facilitate high-resolution characterization of transcripts and protein at the single-cell level and boost our understanding of how host immune responses are initiated and orchestrated against infection. As covered earlier in this review, the main applications of scRNA-seq in infectious disease study comprise of the following: (1) studying effect of host cell heterogeneity on infection, (2) identifying host immune responses, and (3) antibody discovery. ./cache/cord-264159-e9071tyv.txt ./txt/cord-264159-e9071tyv.txt
