The relationship of gene expression levels between human T-cell leukemia virus type I- transgenic (HTLV-I-Tg) and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist-knockout (IL-1Ra-KO) mice. (a) The reciprocal relationship between log-transformed (base 2) normalized gene expression levels for the two models was plotted. The correlation coefficient of gene expression between HTLV-I-Tg and IL-1Ra-KO mice is r = 0.77. (b) Commonly activated genes were extracted in different models using the SAM (significance analysis of microarrays) method; their relationship is shown. The correlation coefficient is r = 0.91.
