We cross-matched Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer sources with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey galaxy spectroscopic catalog within 6 arcsec to produce 182798 galaxies with 22 μm signal to noise > 3. The different redshift bins of the sample show that the rest-frame 22μm luminosities increase with redshift, for rest-frame 22μm luminosities in the range of 106 − 1012 L⊙. The infrared sample is located in the blue sequence. The Seyfert fraction increases with redshift more obviously in the IR sample than in an optical control sample. The Seyfert fraction increases significantly with increasing rest-frame 22 μm luminosity below 1011 L⊙.
