Comparison of the effect of IFN-γ in maturing cells and non-maturing PLB-985 cells.

For the immune related genes in Tables 1–5, the fold change in mRNA levels for DMSO plus IFN-γ treated cells versus DMSO treated cells (grey bars) were compared to the fold changes for IFN-γ treated cells versus untreated cells (black bars). The DMSO plus IFN-γ versus DMSO fold change models the effect of IFN-γ on maturing cells whereas the IFN-γ versus untreated fold change represents its effect on non-maturing cells. Graphs A, B and C show the results for those genes where the DMSO plus IFN-γ versus DMSO fold change (increase or decrease) was greater than 5 fold, 2 to 5 fold or less than 2 fold, respectively.
