PVR and Nectin2 are mainly found as intracellular pool in MM cells. (a) CD38+ CD138+ malignant PCs derived from BM aspirates of MM patients (n = 34) were analysed for PVR and Nectin2 surface and total (surface plus intracellular) expression before and after fixation and permeabilization, respectively. Cells were acquired using FACSCanto flow cytometer (BD Biosciences). Each dot represents a single patient, ****p < 0.001, Wilcoxon matched pairs test. (b) PVR (left panel) and Nectin2 (right panel) surface and total (surface plus intracellular) expression was analysed on MM cell lines before and after fixation and permeabilization, respectively. Cells were acquired using FACSCalibur flow cytometer (BD Biosciences). Data represent the means ± SD of PVR and Nectin2 from three independent experiments. *p < 0.05, Student T test. MFI: mean fluorescence intensity.
