Table 2. In the absence of Ikaros, resting CD4 T cells up-regulate expression of pathways linked to the response to type I Interferons.
Results of GSEA analyses of microarray data for freshly isolated Ikflox x dLck-Cre [Cre+] and Ikflox (no Cre) [Cre] CD4 T cells. In total, 152 gene sets were significantly enriched in Cre+ relative to Cre- CD4 T cells (FDR q<0.25). Examples of enhanced biological processes, functions and pathways are shown. ES: Enrichment score; NES: Normalized enrichment score.
