Each functional group contains genes whose expression is associated with a specific response. For example, the TLR group contains genes encoding Toll-like receptors and adaptor molecules. Each of the remaining groups contains genes that are specific for a T cell subset (such as transcription factors, in italics) and genes that function in the activation and differentiation of specific T cell subsets and in the recruitment of effector cells (ex. neutrophils for Th17; macrophages and T cells for Th1).
