Comparison of key methodological variables between datasets or publications. a Antigenic stimulation; CHMI controlled human malaria infection, ‘field’ infection naturally by mosquito bite, ‘in-vitro’ in vitro stimulation by sporozoites or infected red blood cells. Some datasets employed more than one method of antigenic stimulation. b Tissue type analysed; PBMC peripheral blood mononuclear cells. c Expression profiling method: HTS high throughput sequencing. d Manipulation of data, go gene ontology
