Skin fibroblasts from individuals with Chediak-Higashi Syndrome (CHS) exhibit hyposensitive immunogenic response

Table 4 Summary of correlation between expression of indicated genes

Correlation	TLR-3	COX-2	IL-6	IL-1 β	TLR-4
TLR-3	n/a	r = +0.882; p < 0.05	r = +0.857; p < 0.05	r = +0.978; p < 0.001	n.s.
COX-2	#	n/a	n.s.	r = +0.884; p < 0.05	r = −0.911; p < 0.05
IL-6	#	n.s.	n/a	r = +0.829; p < 0.05	r = −0.821; p < 0.05
IL-1 β	#	#	#	n/a	r = −0.831; p < 0.05

Note: 1. TLR-2 gene expression is not significantly correlated with any of the genes shown in the table. 2. Correlation analysis was performed by Pearson product moment correlation co-efficient analyses. Pearson r represents the correlation coefficiency where 1 is total positive correlation, 0 is no correlation, and −1 is total negative correlation. The significance is indicated by p value with two-tailed 95% confidence. n/a: not available; n.s.: not significant. #: redundant.
