Phenotype and subpopulations of B lymphocytes with bound platelets. (a) A representative image of naïve, preswitched, postswitched, and a double-negative (DN) memory and preswitched memory B lymphocytes with bound platelets from HD and SLE patients. (b) Percentages of CD19+PLT+ in each B lymphocyte subpopulation in HD () and SLE (). Multiple comparisons were analyzed by one-way ANOVA ( in SLE patients). Percentage of (c) IgG, (d) IgA, (e) CD86, and (f) BAFFR MFI on CD19+PLT+/PLT- from HD () and SLE (). Data are presented the as mean. Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney test for unpaired samples and Wilcoxon test for paired samples. , , and .
