Question

If the researchers carry out a PCR for this gene from the CD8+ T cells, what result would you expect?
Explain. 

Here is a second human gene, called cxx3.
The structure indicates the following: the start and end of transcription, the start codon and the stop
codon, the location of the two introns (marked with black boxes). The white boxes indicate the binding
locations of two PCR primers.

The researchers carry out a FACS (Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting) separation of human blood which
isolates a relatively pure sample of CD4+ T cells, and a relatively pure sample of CD8+ T cells, both
different types of lymphocytes. They carry out a PCR, and a semi-quantitative RT-PCR, on these cell
samples. The results are shown on the gel.
