IFNγ response is strongly induced by the in RV144 vaccine. a Barplot presenting the pathways modulated by the RV144 vaccine two weeks after the last immunization compared to preimmunization. A normalized enrichment score (NES) greater than 0 corresponds to a pathway for which member genes are upregulated in vaccinees. Eleven pathways were significantly modulated after immunization in RV144 vaccinees but not in placebo recipients (DB: Hallmark, GSEA: FDR ≤ 5%). b Sample-enrichment analysis (SLEA) of those 11 pathways followed by clustering revealed that those pathways could be separated into four groups of highly correlated pathways (indicated by the black boxes). The representative pathway of each of the four groups (the most significantly enriched) is indicated in black while the remaining pathways are labeled in gray. c Heatmap presenting the SLEA z-score of each of the 11 pathways among the 40 vaccinees and 10 placebo recipients included in the transcriptomic pilot study at both timepoints investigated (pre: prevaccination, post: 2 weeks after the last immunization). An SLEA z-score greater than 0 corresponds to a pathway for which member genes are up-regulated while an SLEA z-score inferior to 0 corresponds to a pathway with genes downregulated in that sample
