CD28 pathway trends across abatacept improver and non-improver samples. a Expression of 19 genes contributing the most to the GSEA enrichment score (core enrichment group) is shown in improvers. Genes are ordered by the GSEA rank metric score with those contributing the most to the enrichment score at the top and those contributing the least at the bottom. Array tree is from Fig. 1a. b CD28 pathway trends across improver and non-improver baseline (base) and post-treatment (post) samples. Expression values are for centroid vectors generated by averaging expression data for each of 19 genes across all respective samples (e.g., all improver bases). p-values are for paired (base vs. post) and unpaired (base vs. base) t-test comparisons. Graphs show mean with SD scatter plots
