The data are presented as a percentage of CD19 and CD3+cells expressing cytoplasmic IL-4 and surface IL-4R. The proportion of CD3+ cells expressing IL-4R in B-CLL patients was significantly higher in patients than in controls (P < .01). The proportion of CD19 and CD3+cells expressing cytoplasmic IL-4 was also significantly higher in B-CLL patients than in controls (P < .03 andP < .01, respectively).
