FIG. 2.
Genes upregulated during persistent HCV infection. Genes that were elevated 2.0-fold or greater in at least 5 of the 10 HCV-infected animals are included. The animal identification number is given at the top, the gene name is indicated at the left, and the gene function is given at the right. The first section includes 39 genes that exhibited changes in all 10 animals, with each subsequent section (separated by heavy lines) representing genes with changes in progressively fewer animals. Genes in each section are listed according to the magnitude of the average expression change with the average being calculated from all 10 animals, even when all 10 did not exhibit an FC of >2.0. Several genes are represented on the array more than once with different probe set identifications. SD, standard deviation. An expanded table is available with the accession numbers, complete gene names, gene symbols, probe ID, standard deviations for all genes for all animals, and functional data with regard to the Gene Ontology Biological Process and Molecular Function (see the supplemental material).
