Significance of signaling-pathway predictors for cytokine release. Data from TLR ligand stimulation were (a) included or (b) excluded. PCR analyses were performed as described in Materials and methods. For a given output, significance of signaling responses was measured as the ratio of their regression coefficients (coef.) divided by the standard deviation (std) of coefficients corresponding to random outputs from the same population as the actual outputs (see Materials and methods). Averaged ratios outside a 95% confidence interval (horizontal dashed lines) are considered significant.
