(A) Enlargement of Cluster A from Fig. 1. The name of each gene is shown to the right of each row. Genes shown in bold text were, at baseline, more than 8-fold higher in β6^−/− mice than in β6^+/+ mice. (B) Scatter plot comparing the values of all the genes in β6^+/+ (x axis) and β6^−/− mice (y axis). Genes shown in bold were expressed at least 8-fold higher in β6^−/− mice compared with β6^+/+ mice, and their mean intensity values are shown by red circles. The middle diagonal in B and C is the line of identity. The upper and lower diagonals represent 2-fold increases and decreases, respectively. (C) Scatter plot comparing the expression of 47 genes restricted to leukocytes in β6^+/+ mice and β6^−/− mice. (D) Ethidium bromide stained 2.5% agarose gel demonstrating the results of noncompetitive RT-PCR with primers specific for MME from macrophages purified by adherence from bronchoalveolar lavage of β6^+/+ mice or β6^−/− mice. (Bottom) Parallel competitive RT-PCR with primers and a plasmid competitor specific for HPRT.
