From: B cell analysis of ethnic groups in Mali with differential susceptibility to malaria
B cell populations from P. falciparum -infected Fulani and Dogon volunteers. PBMCs from P. falciparum-infected Fulani, Dogon and U.S. volunteers were analyzed by flow-cytometry. Quantitation of total B cells (CD19+) (A), immature B cells (CD10+ CD19+) (B), naïve B cells (CD21+ CD27-) (C), plasma cells/plasma blasts (CD20- CD21-) (D), classical MBCs (CD21+ CD27+) (E), activated MBCs (CD21- CD27+) (F), and atypical MBCs (CD21- CD27-) (G). N = 4 infected Fulani; n = 9 infected Dogon. Lines represent mean % of live lymphocytes; error bars indicate SD (* p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01).
