BTZ does not reduce the number of total splenic plasma cells. Panel (A) shows the effect of S/CYC (gray columns) and BTZ (white) in comparison to untreated control mice (CTR, black) on the absolute number of splenic plasma cells analyzed by flow cytometry. Panel (B) depicts a typical experiment in a control mouse. The gated plasma cells express CD138 and cytoplasmic Ig κ light chains (cIg-κ). Panel (C) gives the absolute number of IgG and IgM secreting splenic plasma cells by ELISPOT with a typical example in panel (D). *P < 0.05.
