SERCA3 expression levels in precursor B and mature B cell lines. a: SERCA3 expression was determined by semi-quantitative Western blotting using total protein lysates prepared from various untreated precursor-B and mature B cell lines (see Additional file 1: Table S1). Protein loading was checked by Ponceau red staining. b: SERCA3 levels are expressed as fold change compared to untreated Kasumi-2 cells. Mature B cells express significantly higher levels of SERCA3. When SERCA3 expression is compared between pre-B and mature B cells as a group, an approximately fifteen fold higher expression is observed in mature B cells in a highly significant manner (p = 0.0087)
