“…32,33 Total cellular RNA was extracted from DCs with RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany), reverse transcribed with oligo-dT 18 using Superscript II (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA), and subjected to real-time quantitative analysis on ABI PRISM 7700 Sequence Detection System instrument and software (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) with QuantiTect SYBR Green PCR Kit (Qiagen). Reactions were performed in duplicates with specific primers amplifying the d2eGFP-encoding region (eGFP-sense, 5 0 -CACATGAAGCAGCACGACTTC-3 0 ; eGFPantisense, 5 0 -CACCTTGATGCCGTTCTTCTG-3 0 ; each 300 nM) with initial denaturation/activation for 15 min at 95 1C, and 40 cycles of 30 s at 94 1C, 30 s at 62 1C and 30 s at 72 1C.…”
