Microarray profiles of mouse kidneys treated with BSA or saline. A) Microarray profiles in kidneys from NON mice treated with BSA versus saline. Each column in the picture represents the median value of two array experiments for an individual mouse. Each row represents a different gene on the array. The identity of each gene is displayed on the right hand side of the picture. On each row of the picture, the red, green or black colors refer to the relative expression of the studied gene compared to the reference. Green represents lower expression, red represents higher expression and black represents equal levels of expression. The intensity of red and green color is proportional to the increase or decrease of gene expression relative to the reference. B) Expression profiles in kidneys from NOD.B10 mice treated with BSA versus saline. C) Combined analysis of NON and NOD.B10 treated with BSA versus saline.
