Figure 2. Real-time RT-PCR quantification of mRNA of SHR repair genes in tonsillar naïve (N), GC centroblast (CB), GC centrocyte (CC) and memory (M) B cells.

Three tonsil pools each prepared from 6 individual tonsils were used. Genes induced transcriptionally in GC B cells are marked with the red circles while the ones not induced are highlighted with the blue circles. Statistical significance: *p<0.05, **p<0.01.
