Total RNA from T cells was extracted using Trizol (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). In total, 300 ng of RNA were reverse-transcribed into cDNA using M-MLV reverse transcriptase (28025-013, Invitrogen), Random Primers and RNAseOUT inhibitor (10777-019, Invitrogen). cDNA were quantified by real time PCR using a Power SYBR Green Real-time PCR kit (4367659, Life technologies) on a 7500Fast detection system (Life technologies). Relative mRNA levels were determined using the ∆Ct method. Values were expressed relative to β-actin unless otherwise specified. The sequences of the oligonucleotides used are described in Supplementary Table 1.
