  1. 1Following primer pairs (stated in brackets for 1st, 2nd and 3rd PCR respectively) were used for TCRBV amplifications: VβI-VβIII families (1/8, 1/9, 4 + 5/9), VβIV-VβVI families (2/8, 2/9, 6/9) and VβVII family (3/8, 3/9, 7/9). Annealing temperatures (Tm) were 54 °C for 1st PCR, 61 °C for 2nd PCR and 55 °C for 3rd PCR.
  2. 2Following primer pairs (stated in brackets for 1st, 2nd and 3rd PCR respectively) were used for IGHV amplifications: total immunoglobulins (10/18, 11/18, 12/18), IgM (10/13, 11/13, 12/18), IgD (10/14, 11/14, 12/18), IgG (10/15, 11/15, 12/18), IgA (10/16, 11/16, 12/18) and IgE (10/17, 11/17, 12/18). Annealing temperatures (Tm) were 58 °C for 1st and 2nd PCR and 55 °C for 3rd PCR.
