Fig. 5. Released BLyS induces B-cell proliferation and IgG production. / (A) [3H]thymidine incorporation by B cells was assessed after a 4-day culture with serial dilutions of U937-conditioned medium (indicated by a closed circle) in presence of the neutralizing mAb 15C10 (indicated by an open circle) or an unrelated mAb of the same isotype (indicated by closed triangles). Anti-IgM was added to the culture as costimulus. [3H]thymidine incorporation of B cells in the presence of anti-IgM was 630 dpm. (B) Purified B cells were cultured for 10 days with SAC and serial dilutions of the U937-conditioned medium in the absence or presence of mAb 15C10. IgG production was evaluated by ELISA.
