The table shows the same values with same criteria as in table 3 for all transcripts included on the microarray from the two immune related genes Ig light chain, Ig heavy chain. Also included are three MHC-transcripts, which were only top ranked in the parents. If not stated otherwise, all transcripts were down-regulated in parents treated with Unpredictable Light (UL) or offspring of UL parents in relation to parents in Predictable Light or their offspring.

^*Up-regulated.

¹Annotation was done using Chicken Discovery System.

^§NA indicate genes filtered away during analysis as low quality spot on microarray. Filtration is dependent on joint properties on all the arrays in the group, hence could fall out differently in relation to which arrays are included.
