Gene expression profiling of human alveolar macrophages infected by B. anthracisspores demonstrates TNF-α and NF-κb are key components of the innate immune response to the pathogen

Table 1 Proportion of genes expressed under different conditions.

Genes upregulated in spore infected HAM	Overexpressed genes (1^st set)	209
	Expressed only in spore-treated (2^nd set)	43
	Total upregulated	252
Genes downregulated in spore infected HAM	Downregulated genes (1^st set)	61
	Expressed only in mock-treated (2^nd set)	21
	Total downregulated	82
