Genes in blue rectangles are up-regulated in MP stimulated by "signature IFNs" (and down-regulated in non-signature interferons). Genes in orange rectangles are up-regulated in MP stimulated by non-signature IFN (and downregulated in signature interferons). Genes belonging to more than one functional group may represent central and shared switches in pathways directly influenced by IFNs' activity. Genes in torqoise characters did not classify in any of the categories mined by DAVID software (PSMA3, NKTR, NKG7, CD63, EEF2) and were manually entered in the appropriate group on the basis of Entrez cross database annotation and Genecard http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Entrez; http://bioinfo.weizmann.ac.il/cards/index.shtml
