Despite showing the same direction of fold-changes (Supplementary Table S4), microarray results were only confirmed to be significantly different for 6 [i.e., guanine deaminase (gda), granzyme a precursor (gzma), interferon-induced very large GTPase 1 (gvinp1), leukemia inhibitory factor receptor (lifr), leucine-rich repeat transmembrane protein FLRT3 (flrt3), interleukin 13 receptor alpha 1b (il13ra1b)] out of 11 (5 down-regulated and 6 up-regulated) qPCR-studied transcripts selected from the infection level-responsive transcript list (i.e., H-BKD vs. L-BKD: 357 DEPs; Figure 1A). Here, GDA is linked to infection.
