Figure 5. — BCMA expression in germinal centers. (A) BCMA staining in human tonsils (magnification, ×100; scale bar, 200 µm). (B-E) BCMA staining in (B) the DZ, (C) LZ, (D) MZ and (E) IZ in germinal centers of human tonsils (magnification, ×400; scale bar, 50 µm). (F) Percentage of BCMA-positive cells in different zones of germinal centers in human tonsils. BCMA expression is showed as brown-orange staining and Harris' hematoxylin was used as a blue-purple counterstain. Images were quantitatively analyzed using ImageJ software. Values are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. **P<0.01. DZ, dark zone; IZ, interfollicular zone; LZ, light zone; MZ, mantle zone; BCMA, B-cell maturation antigen.
