Nongranular CD138 cells were isolated with the use of cell sorting from populations induced by activation of peripheral blood (donor 8) or tonsillar B lymphocytes, as defined in Figure 1. Sorted cells were CD100+CD38+CD138. PTP activity was assayed on CD101 (negative control value), CD100, and CD45 immunoprecipitates obtained from depleted or undepleted cell lysates (2 × 106 peripheral blood cells and 1.5 × 106 tonsillar cells per 100 μL of lysates). All procedures are described in “Materials and Methods.” Results are expressed as in Tables 3 and 4.

NS, not significant; ND, not determined.
