as an enriched cytosolic component. However, this group includes all 3 isoforms of complement protein C1q, as well as 7 other mRNAs (Oas1b, Rtp4, Ifih1, Pou2f2, Kdelr1, Coro1a, and Ddx58) involved in immune effector responses. There are four KEGG pathways identified in the group of 885 Alc*TII-DEs (Additional file 1: Table S5B), three of which involve RNA handling (ribosome, spliceosome, and transport) and one involves Salmonella infection. Interestingly, while levels of 14 of the 18 mRNAs encoding nuclear ribosomal subunits were decreased, the levels of 7 of the 8 mRNAs encoding mitochondrial ribosomal subunits were increased.
