Figure 3.
Expression of Ctla-4 mRNA in thymocytes upon in vivo anti-CD3 treatment. RNA was isolated from thymus after 24 h of treatment with 100 μg of anti-CD3 or saline and analyzed by RT-PCR for Ctla-4 RNA expression. Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HPRT) RNA expression is shown in the lower panel as control for cDNA loading and RT-PCR. This experiment is representative of two independent RT-PCRs.
