(A) Representative gating strategy of dead cells among plasmablasts and plasma cells. (B) Dead plasmablast frequencies and absolute numbers in the bone marrow. (C) Dead plasma cell frequencies and absolute numbers in the spleen. Data are expressed as mean ± S.E.M and representative of 2 independent experiments (n = 6–10 mice per group in each experiment); Data analysed by Shapiro-Wilk test followed by either one way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s multiple comparisons test or by Kruskal Wallis followed by the Dunn’s multiple comparisons test; ns, p> 0.05; * p< 0.05, ** p< 0.001, *** p< 0.0001; Vac, hexavalent (DTPa-hepB-IPV-Hib) vaccine; Sm, S. mansoni; PZQ, praziquantel; SSC, Side scatter; FSC, forward scatter; CD19, cluster of differentiation 19; IgG1, Immunoglobulin G1; IgD, Immunoglobulin D; B220, B cell isoform of 220 kDa; CD138, cluster of differentiation 138.
