Schematic summary of genes differentially expressed in different subsets of DCs.

The genes identified in this study were grouped based on the microarray analysis (DC/BMT > 1.0, Table 2) and the RT-PCR (Figure 3) and summarized in a Venn diagram. The nonoverlapping area represents genes specifically expressed in each subset of DCs. The overlapping area represents genes commonly expressed in different subsets of DCs. Shadowed genes represent the ones also highly expressed in blood CD11c⁻ DCs.
