Levels of 18 discriminatory cytokines in normal and GBM sera of the training set.

aCytokine profiling (n = 48) was carried out using bead array method. The levels of 18 discriminatory cytokines of the training set was converted to differential log 2 ratio by dividing the individual sample value with mean of all normal samples for a given cytokine. In this table, median of differential log 2 ratio for a given cytokine and standard error are shown.#The abundance of cytokines in GBM sera when compared to normal sera. “High” refers to cytokine present in elevated levels and “Low” refers to cytokine present in lower levels in GBM sera when compared to normal sera.bThe TCGA microarray data which is publically available was used to check the transcript levels of 18 differentially abundant cytokines. Non-parametric t-test was conducted with FDR correction using log 2 ratio of normal brain tissue and GBM tumor tissue to identify significant differentially regulated cytokines at transcript level. The regulation, p value and log 2 fold change are provided in the table. “Up” refers to up-regulated and “Down” refers to down-regulated in GBM when compared to normal brain.NS refers to non-significant.Levels of 18 discriminatory cytokines in normal and GBM sera of the training set.
