Summary of BDCA-4 dendritic cell genes upregulated (A) and genes involved in the immune response. (A) Biologic processes of genes upregulated at least three fold using the OntoExpress software as discussed in the materials and methods section. (B) List of specific genes upregulated in BDCA-4 cells relative to CD14+ cells. ** Genes confirmed to be upregulated using RT-PCR as discussed in the materials and methods section. Numbers in parentheses indicate two separate values of fold upregulation of the selected upregulated genes confirmed by RT-PCR.
