Flow cytometric analysis of human B cells. Flow cytometric analysis of human B cells. Panel A: B cells were enriched from human PBMC using immunomagnetic beads, and analyzed for purity by flow cytometry using CD-19 and BDCA-4 as markers (pre-sort purity was 80.3%, one representative donor). Panel B: The enriched B cell population was then further purified by flow sorting, and analyzed as described above (post-sort purity was 99.9%, one representative donor).

Gene expression profile of human B cells modulated by TLR7, 8, or 9 agonists. Gene expression profile of human B cells from one donor (donor 1) after treatment with TLR7, 8, or 9 agonists. Gene expression was determined at 2, 8 and 24 hours post stimulation.

Interferon and interferon-inducible genes in human B cells treated with TLR7, 8, 9 agonists. Gene expression profile of human B cells from one donor (donor 1) after treatment with TLR7, 8, or 9 agonists. Interferon and interferon inducible genes were minimally and inconsistently modulated by treatment with TLR agonists. Gene expression was determined at 2, 8 and 24 hours post stimulation.
