Comparison of B cell subsets between different phases during acute infection

Acute infection phases Frequency (%)
Naïve B cells Resting memory B cells Tissue memory B cells Activated memory B cells Plasmablasts Plasma cells
Febrile (D-2 and D-1) 52.7 ± 19.9* 9.9 ± 4.4 11.0 ± 7.0*,** 3.8 ± 2.8 12.6 ± 8.2 10.1 ± 11.8*,**
Defervescense (D0 and D+1) 44.4 ± 18.2 12.1 ± 5.3 7.5 ± 6.3*** 4.4 ± 3.2 12.0 ± 8.1 19.3 ± 12.8
Afebrile (D+2 and D+3) 43.4 ± 21.4 13.7 ± 4.9 5.8 ± 9.2 3.6 ± 1.9 15.0 ± 13.6 18.5 ± 16.5

Results are showed as mean percentages ± standard deviation. *indicates p < 0.05 when compare to defervescence phase, **indicates p < 0.05 when compare to afebrile phase and ***indicates p < 0.05 when compare between defervescence and afebrile phase
