Altered numbers of IgG+ IgD− >CD27+ memory B cells, CD138+ and IgG+ plasmablasts in UC patients after treatment with mesalazine. The numbers of IgG+ IgD− CD27+ memory B cells and plasmablasts were compared in UC patients pre‐ and post‐treatment. Data are expressed as the real numbers of B cells or plasmablasts of individual subjects (n = 6 for A–C). The difference between pre‐ and post‐treatment patients was analysed by the Wilcoxon test. (A) The numbers of IgG+ IgD− CD27+ memory B cells in individual patients pre‐ and post‐treatment. (B and C) The numbers of CD138+ CD38+ and IgG+ CD38+ plasmablasts in individual patients pre‐ and post‐treatment.
