Memory B cells (CD3−CD19+CD20+CD27+CD43−), CD3−CD19+CD20+CD27+CD43+CD69− B cells, and plasmablasts (CD3−CD19+CD20−CD43+CD27+) from 3 healthy donors were purified by a combination of magnetic cell isolation and cell sorting (according to the gating strategy shown in Figure 1). The cells were plated at 2.5 × 103 cells per well, incubated at 37°C for 12 h, and analyzed for spontaneous antibody secretion by ELISPOT. ND, not done.
