“…qPCR was performed using the RT 2 SYBR Green qPCR Mastermix (QIA GEN) on the Stratagene MX3005P (Stratagene). The following forward (F) and reverse (R) primers were used: F, 5′-AAT CGTGC GTGAC ATCAA AG-3′ and R, 5′-ATG CCACA GGATT CCATA CC-3′ for mouse β-actin (Li et al, 2011); F, 5′-GTA CCATG ACACT CTGCA ACC-3′ and R, 5′-GTC AGGAA AATGA CACCT GGC-3′ for mouse Ccl3 (Volat et al, 2012); F, 5′-TGG GATGC CTTTG TGGAA CT-3′ and R, 5′-ACA GCCAG GAGAA ATCAA ACAG-3′ for mouse Bcl2 (Mohrin et al, 2010); F, 5′-GGC TGGGA CACTT TTGTG GAT-3′ and R, 5′-GCG CTCCT GGCCT TTCC-3′ for mouse Bcl2l1 (Bcl-xL; Mohrin et al, 2010); F, 5′-GGA CCTCG AGTGT GAAGC AT-3′ and R, CTG GAGCT CACAG GGTAG GA-3′ for human Tlr9; F, 5′-CTG TGGCA TCCAC GAAAC TA-3′ and R, 5′-AGT ACTTG CGCTC AGGAG GA-3′ for human β-actin (Ho-Pun-Cheung et al, 2009). For mouse Ccl11, predesigned primers were purchased from QIA GEN.…”
