Figure 6

Clustering of expression of genes associated to inflammation. Shown is hierarchical clustering of gene-centred expression of the 65 genes present in the IFN-γ, TNF, IL-1β and MCP-1/CCL2 gene functional association networks. Samples from the dataset, presented by Chin and coworkers [38], cluster in three groups (A, B and C) if the expression levels of the proinflammatory genes are used. CCL, CC chemokine ligand; IFN, interferon; IL, interleukin; MCP, monocyte chemoattractant protein; TNF, tumour necrosis factor.
