Figure 8.

Quantifying CD73 and CD73+ memory B cells. Combined data from five experiments showing the numbers of PE-specific (A) GC cells, IgM+ CD73 and CD73+ memory cells (B), or swIg+ CD73 and CD73+ memory cells (C) at the indicated time points after injection. (D) Combined data from multiple experiments showing the numbers of CD73 and total (CD73 + CD73+) PE-specific memory cells and at days 6, 10, and 30. The mean and SEM (n = 3–6) are shown for A–D. (E) Combined data from two experiments showing the numbers of IgM+ CD73, IgM+ CD73+, swIg+ CD73, and swIg+ CD73+ memory cells 60 d after injection with 1.5, 15, or 150 µg PE in CFA or 15 µg PE adsorbed to alum. To account for unstimulated naive cells contaminating the IgM+ CD73 population, the mean number of PE-specific cells found in unimmunized animals was subtracted from the IgM+ CD73 population. The means and SEM (n = 3–6) are shown.
