  1. The disease phases showing significantly higher levels of the relevant gene expression than their comparators are indicated in parentheses. Peak is dpi 17
  2. Cx connexin, dpi days post-immunization, EAE experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, ES enrichment score, fl flox, icKO inducible conditional knock-out, NS = not significant
  3. *P values of the ES plots are shown.
