49 genes specifically up-regulated by L&H cells compared with normal and other malignant B cells were identified according to the following criteria: (a) expression above background level in ≥4 out of 5 L&H cell profiles and in ≤6 out of the 50 normal and other malignant B cell profiles; and (b) greater than or equal to twofold up-regulation in L&H cells and with a t test p-value of ≤0.05. Five genes specifically down-regulated in L&H cells were identified according to the following criteria: (a) expression above background level in ≤1 out of 5 L&H cell profiles and in ≥33 out of the 50 normal and other malignant B cell profiles; and (b) greater than or equal to twofold down-regulation in L&H cells and with a t test p-value ≤0.05. The 12 cHL profiles were excluded from the comparison (see Results). For genes with known gene functions, these are indicated.
