Meta-Analysis of Pulmonary Transcriptomes from Differently Primed Mice Identifies Molecular Signatures to Differentiate Immune Responses following Bordetella pertussis Challenge

Figure 5

Genes encoding for secreted proteins. Genes encoding for secreted proteins were retrieved from DAVID and illustrated as heatmap for the four pulmonary transcriptome datasets. The genes are clustered according to prevalence in the six function groups (I–VI), which is shown on the left. The moment at which the B. pertussis infection or challenge was performed is depicted as well as the log10 number of colony forming units (cfu) for each time point postchallenge as determined previously [7, 8].
