BAFF promotes T and B lymphocyte proliferation and secretory functions. T and B lymphocyte proliferation was analyzed by [³H]TdR intake. The levels of IL-2, IL-17, IgG, and IgM were analyzed by ELISA. (A) Proliferation of T and B lymphocytes; (B) The levels of IL-2 and IL-17; (C) IgG and IgM are shown as the mean±SD of four samples pooled from three independent experiments, each performed in technical triplicates. ^*P<0.05, ^**P<0.01 vs T or B cells. ^#P<0.05, ^##P<0.01 vs T or B cells+BAFF.
