Figure 2.

CXCL13 transcripts are found in the nongranulocyte cell population. Total peritoneal lavage samples 16 hr after thioglycollate treatment (four mice per set) (a) or from naïve mice (b) were obtained and separated, based upon density, in a Percoll gradient (1·06 g/ml) (see Methods) RNA was obtained from the samples and analysed for CXCL13 transcripts (per β-actin control) by quantitative PCR. Results from a single experiment are shown but is representative of multiple identical experiments. (*t = 0·03).
