Genes classified as being either more intensely or exclusively up-regulated in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) stimulated with live Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb) MOI (10��1) in comparison to similar concentrations of borrelial lysates.

Values shown correspond to a ratio determined between normalized gene intensity values obtained after a four-hour PBMC stimulation with either inert beads, live or lysed Bb (MOI 10��1) in proportion to gene intensity values from unstimulated cells. Annotated names in bold letters correspond to genes that were exclusively up-regulated by live Bb.
