  1. Induction of Bcl6 or Bcl6b in TFH cells selectively by DC antigen presentation and inhibition of Bcl6 by PC antigen presentation, assessed by two rounds of in vitro amplification (IVT) of RNA with a MessengerAmp II aRNA Amplification kit (Ambion), similar to what is done before microarray analysis, followed by the generation of cDNA from 10 μg amplified RNA as the starting material for SYBR Green–based quantitative PCR analysis; by specific target amplification (STA) with specific primers to generate cDNA , followed by 14 cycles of PCR preamplification and dilution of the product 1:5 for use as the starting material for SYBR Green–based quantitative PCR analysis; or the melting curve (Tm) peak signal after SYBR Green–based quantitative PCR analysis.
