Table 1. Summary of J-chain and Blimp-1 expression in Ig-secreting cells.

The table summarizes in situ hybridization data from figures 3-5 and 7, encompassing expression in the neonatal spleen along with adult spleen and epigonal tissue. (+) indicates presence of transcript by in situ hybridization, (-) indicates no expression was detected by in situ and (N/A) indicates that the cell type in question is not present in said tissue.
