CD3+ B-1a Cells as a Mediator of Disease Progression in Autoimmune-Prone Mice

Figure 2

Cell-surface markers of B cells. Peripheral blood cells obtained from the B6 mice () were stained and analyzed with flow cytometry. Representative flow cytometry plots (a) and absolute count of B-1a, B-1b, and B-2 cells (b) are shown. Peripheral blood cells obtained from the B6/lpr mice () were stained and analyzed with flow cytometry. Representative flow cytometry plots (c) and absolute count of B-1a, B-1b, and B-2 cells (d) are shown. Peripheral blood cells obtained from the MRL/lpr mice () were stained and analyzed with flow cytometry. Representative flow cytometry plots (e) and absolute count of B-1a, B-1b, and B-2 cells (f) are shown.
