Plasma cell expansion in the experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis spleen. (A): Representative gating of plasma cells and plasmablasts. Live cells were identified by live/dead staining. (B): Frequencies of plasma cells and plasmablasts of experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG) mice and controls in the spleen. N = 8 per group. (C): Representative gating for plasma cells in EAMG mice and controls in the spleen. (D): Frequencies of plasma cells and plasmablasts in the abdominal lymph nodes. (E): Representative gating for plasma cells in EAMG mice and controls in the abdominal lymph nodes. Groups were compared by unpaired student’s t-test. p ≤ 0.05 *, p > 0.05 not significant.
