Table S1 - Allelic Variation on Murine Chromosome 11 Modifies Host Inflammatory Responses and Resistance to Bacillus anthracis

Candidate genes within the critical region on chromosome 11. Dataset analysis of over 1,600 microarray experiments performed on 442 F2 (B6 x CAST/EiJ) mice revealed 81 cis-acting eQTL (differences in gene expression map to structural changes in genes themselves). Of the 81, 25 (shown in bold) were identified as high priority candidates based on their known or predicted functions in inflammation and/or immunological processes. In addition, the critical region encodes Nlrp1a, and Nlrp1c, which were not analyzed by microarray, but which are potential candidates for controlling ERP and resistance to B. anthracis Sterne. (PDF)
