Quantitative RT-PCR analyses of BAFF expression in BMDCs

Treatment	Relative mRNA expression rate ata:
	0 h	6 h
Vehicle (0.05% DMSO)b	0.30 ± 0.04	0.40 ± 0.16
CAM (15 μM)	0.25 ± 0.02	0.24 ± 0.07
Poly(I·C) (20 μg/ml)	0.30 ± 0.10	1.47 ± 0.37*

^aAfter the cells had been treated with each reagent for 0 and 6 h, total RNA was isolated, and the expression levels of BAFF mRNA normalized to GAPDH mRNA were detected. Data are means ± SEM from four independent experiments. *, P < 0.05 versus vehicle at 6 h.

^bDMSO, dimethyl sulfoxide.
