Differentially expressed annotated genes in T cells during the TEXUS-51 mission.

	BL vs. H/W	BL vs. 1 g in-flight	µg vs. 1 g in-flight	µg vs. BL
up-regulated genes	57	56	37	0
down-regulated genes	29	44	67	1
total number of differentially expressed genes	86	100	104	1

Number of annotated significantly differentially expressed genes in the respective comparison after elimination of differentially expressed genes due to hardware effects (hardware 1 g ground control compared to the cell culture control) and 1 g in-flight effects (1 g in-flight control compared to the hardware 1 g ground control). H/W: hardware 1 g ground control samples, BL: baseline control samples representing the influence of the rocket launch, µg: microgravity samples. Fold change ± 1.3, p < 0.05.
