Four main gene ontology (GO) functions, identified as biological processes, of differentially expressed (DE) genes of Mycoplasma suis infected pigs

Biological process^a	Number of DE genes	Gene symbol^b
Inflammatory response	9	CCR5, CYBB, IDO1, TLR8, CASP4, CASP1, CXCL10, AIF1, CD180
Immune response	5	CCR5, TLR8, CCL8, CXCL10, PDL1
