One thousand sorted cells of the indicated phenotype were cultured in 24 wells precoated with confluent MS-5 cells in either lymphoid or switch conditions (see the Materials and Methods for details). At the end of the 6-week culture period, cell phenotype was analyzed by flow cytometry. The proportion of CD19+ cells was calculated in a morphologic gate including 80% of nucleated cells. The proportion of CD19+ cells coexpressing another B-lineage–specific marker was calculated in each experiment and the mean ± SEM of these calculations is shown.
