The table summarizes the differential expression of genes encoding cathepsin and cystatin as well as associated protein levels and the enzymatic activity of cathepsins in MDDCs treated with HIV-1BAL (MOI1) for 48 hours. If a gene was not spotted on the microarray or a function assay was not performed, then this is marked with a dash.
