Table 1. Expression of differentially up-regulated transcription factors in thymic macrophages.
Transcription factors that were highly expressed in thymic macrophages (>250) and up-regulated >twofold in thymic macrophages compared to non-thymic macrophages were listed alphabetically, and the geometric means of four replicates of thymic macrophages (ThyMacs) and two replicates of each of the nine non-thymic macrophage populations (non-ThyMacs) were recorded. Non-thymic macrophages are: spleen red pulp macrophages, Kupffer cells, broncho-alveolar lavage macrophages, peritoneal cavity macrophages, aorta macrophages, heart macrophages, white adipose tissue macrophages, central nervous system microglia, and spinal cord macrophages.
