  • Only the probability (computed according to Equations and ) corresponding to the most significant transition (numbers in bold) is listed (Okubo et al. 1995). The total EST numbers sampled from the HL60, HL60 + TPA and HL60 + DMSO cDNA libraries are 845, 845, and 1058, respectively. ESTs 418, 211, 356, 285, 293, 292, 650, 335, 444, 861, 305 corresponding to ribosomal proteins, and EST 380, a tag to an unkown gene, exhibit a marked reduction of expression level in the DMSO- and/or TPA-induced differentiated states. In constrast, ESTs 135 (ferritin), 2015 (LD78/macrophage inflammatory protein), 1674 (methionine adenosyltransferase), 155 (thymosin β-4), 1806 (lipocortin), 1808 (thymosin β-10), and 1766 (a metallothionein) appear more abundant in the TPA-induced state, also highly enriched in EST 19 (the ubiquitous elongation factor 1-α). β-Actin (EST 244), is the only markedly increased tag in the DMSO-induced state. EST numbers, abundance data, and protein assignments are from the “body map” public expression data repository athttp://www.imcb.osaka-u.ac.jp (K. Okubo and K. Matsubara).
