Genes significantly altered in response to Bacillus anthracis infection in murine lungs at 8 hr

GenBank ID	Gene Name	Function	FC
Up-regulated in Response to B. anthracis Infection

AV075715	Clusterin (Clu)	Stress response	2.1
NM_138648	Oxidized low density lipoprotein (lectin-like) receptor 1 (Olr1)	Inflammation; cell adhesion	1.9

Down-regulated in Response to B. anthracis Infection

U96752	Major histocompability complex Q1b (H2-K1)	Antigen presentation	−2.5
BB428671	Platelet-derived growth factor, D polypeptide (Pdgfd)	Regulation of progression through cell cycle; proliferation	−2.1
AV169310	Surfactant associated protein C (Sftpc)	Regulation of liquid surface tension; regulatory gas exchange	−2.0

FC = fold-change

Negative sign (−) before fold-change value indicates down-regulation

Genes shown more than once were represented by more than one probe set on the array, and each was determined separately to be altered in response to Bacillus anthracis treatment
