A. Before applying the selection criteria of a fold change >3 and maxT < 0.01, all the genes that passed the preprocessing step (corresponding to 9108 probe sets in total; see Materials and Methods) were categorized based on their known or predicted cellular distributions in the GeneOntology Database.
B. The 150 genes were categorized based on their known or predicted cellular distributions in GeneOntology Database. External proteins, including secreted extracellular and membrane proteins, represent 56% of the up-regulated genes and 42% of the down-regulated genes.
