Figure 1

Proliferation profile of sCD40L-activated B cell. (a) The percentage of B cells in the PMBCs. It was about 8.21% of total cell population at the initiative culture. (b) The percentage of B cells increased up to 70.67% of the total cells as cultured for 48 days. (c) Cells were stained for DNA content with PI-pretreatment and analyzed of the cell cycle by flow cytometry. The y-axis shows relative cell number and the x-axis shows DNA content. sCD40L-stimulated B cells accumulated in the phase S. (d) B cell counts in the presence or absence of sCD40L. The x-axis shows days of cell culture and the y-axis shows the number of the B cells. sCD40L-stimulated cells increased in number but the non-stimulated cells decreased.
