Naive B cells from the indicated groups were cultured (10 x 103 cells/well/200 μl) with CD40L alone or together with IL-2, IL-10, or CpG. Ig secretion was measured after 10–12 d. The values are means ± SEM for the indicated number of donors with the exception of cultures of naive B cells from healthy donors or STAT3MUT patients stimulated with CD40L/IL-10 or CD40L/CpG (n = 5) and STAT1MUT patients stimulated with CD40L/IL-10 (n = 2). ND, not done.
