Clustering analysis of differentially expressed genes in TNP-LPS and/or TNP-KLH stimulations related to different immune-relevant groups. Genes were row normalized and hierarchical clustering constructed using Pearson correlation and the average linkage clustering method. Genes were grouped in pattern recognition receptors; tumor necrosis factor family of ligands, receptors, and related proteins; chemokines and chemokines receptors; cytokines, cytokine receptors, and related proteins; and interferon related proteins. Central columns highlight genes showing significant differential expression (FDR p < 0.05) when TNP-KLH was compared to Control (KLHvsC), TNP-LPS to Control (LPSvsC), or TNP-LPS to TNP-KLH (LPSvsKLH).
