The frequencies are given as the mean plus or minus SD. Based on the data in Table 3, the relative frequencies of individual B-lineage cells among BM lymphoid cells were calculated as follows: their percentages within the total B-lineage cells multiplied by the percentages of total B-lineage cells in BM lymphoid cells divided by 100.

F3-150

Significantly increased when compared with infants (P < .01), children (P < .01), and adults (P < .002).

F3-151

Significantly reduced when compared with infants (P < .0001) and children (P < .01).

F3-152

Significantly reduced when compared with infants (P < .0001), children (P < .0001), and adults (P < .05).

F3-153

Significantly reduced when compared with infants (P < .0001), children (P < .0001), and adults (P < .0001).
