Flow cytometry gating strategies for B cell phenotyping. FACS plots of B cell subsets of a representative Fulani adult. Within the CD19+ gate shown in gray (A), the B cell subpopulations are defined as follows: immature (CD10+) shown in purple (B); plasma cells/plasma blasts (CD20- CD21- CD27+); shown in blue (C); activated MBCs (CD10- CD20+ CD21- CD27+), classical MBCs (CD10- CD20+ CD21+ CD27+), atypical MBCs (CD10- CD20+ CD21- CD27-) and naïve B cells (CD10- CD20+ CD21+ CD27-) shown in orange, pink, blue and green respectively (D).
