Setting a p-value of <0.05 and employing a differential expression change of more than 1.3 as the threshold for significant up-regulation and less than 1/1.3 as the threshold for significant down-regulation, 3292, 584, and 361 up-regulated proteins were identified in each comparative group, CKA vs. TA, CKB vs. TB, CKA vs. CKB, and TA vs. TB, respectively (Figure 3C). Here, CKB is linked to tuberculosis.
