F3-150

Each data point represents the indicated type of sorted cells from an individual MM or normal donor, as described in Materials and Methods. MM plasma cells were from BM, and MM B cells and normal B cells were from blood.

F3-151

P < .001 as compared with MM B cells.

F3-152

P < .001 as compared with B cells from normal donors.
