Correlations between serum acetate levels and TNF-producing B cells after PBMC culture for 18 h (n = 21). Cells were cultured with or without Resiquimod (R848) as indicated. (a,b) The proportion of unstimulated or R848-stimulated IgMhi MZ-like B cells expressing TNF (%) and (c,d) the expression (MFI) of TNF in unstimulated or R848-stimulated IgMhi MZ-like B cells. (e,f) The expression of TNF (MFI) in IgM-only memory B cells in unstimulated or R848-stimulated cells. Correlation was measured using nonparametric Spearman’s rho; statistically significant values are shown in bolded font. Line of regression is shown for illustrative purposes only.
