Abstract excerpt
Two major B cell subpopulations were identified in the IgD- compartment of tonsils and subsequently isolated. They displayed the following phenotypes: CD10+CD38+CD44- (CD38+ B cells) and CD10-CD38-CD44+ (CD38- B cells). Of the CD38- B cells, 70% also expressed CD24 and CD39, whereas CD77 was specifically distributed on 40% of CD38+ B cells, suggesting an additional level of heterogeneity in the cellular...
