Finally, cluster 2 the second largest cluster, terms for Response to stress (GO 0006950), Protein folding and DNA Metabolic processes (GO 0006259) were enriched as was the Cellular component Nucleus with higher expression in Hawaiian, Chilean and Californian populations.
Terms for response to antibiotic and antibiotic transport were enriched for the mitis group.
The parental gene ontology terms for "response to stress" (GO 0006950), "response to other organism" (GO 0051707), and "immune response" (GO 0006955) were found in 27 up-regulated 'Prestige' genes, and in 24 down-regulated 'Prestige' genes.
However, none of the genes born on the mitis branch were annotated with GO terms for response to antibiotic and antibiotic transport, suggesting that resistance to antimicrobials was acquired more recently via LGT.
Where there was an interim notion, for example, of just "chemical hormesis," there are now two additional terms for responses to chemicals: "chemical conditioning hormesis" and "chemical postexposure conditioning hormesis".
The GO term for immune response was initially negatively regulated, but as intoxication proceeds, immune response showed a positive regulation.
Secretary Powell, who was one of the key players in building the global coalition that the United States used in the Persian Gulf war in 1991, said the administration was seeking military and political backing in the short term for its response to the terror attack.
Such agents are called "biologics," an abbreviated colloquial term for "biologic response modifiers" (Köller 2006).
The most basic model included a term for high/low response group.
He then turns his attention to the use of biological markers as predictors of outcome - both short term (for example, response) and long term (for example, survival) and shows that these two have not yet been validated.
