Enriched gene sets were identified using GSEA, selected for FDR < 0.05 and NES ≥ 1.80. Where GSEA identified several gene sets with the same functional annotation, the total number of enriched gene sets is given and the NES and FDR of the most significantly enriched set is shown. Only gene sets in which at least 5 genes accounted for the enrichment score (leading edge genes) are included. Gene sets specific to nonlymphoid cell types are not shown.

NES indicates normalized enrichment score; and TNF, tumor necrosis factor.
