B Cell Responses to CpG Correlate with CXCL16 Expression Levels in Common Variable Immunodeficiency
Figure 4
Defective upregulation target genes (mRNA levels) after in vitro stimulation with CpG in CVID. (a) Fold increase of CD69, CD86, TLR9, AICDA, and IL-6 at the mRNA level after CpG stimulation. Experiments were performed with PBMCs in triplicates for all patients () and healthy controls (). (b) Fold increase of TLR9, AICDA, and IL-6 at the mRNA level after CpG stimulation. Experiments were performed with purified B cells from patients () and healthy controls (). Graph bars show standard error (SE).
