JAK2 46/1 haplotype influences PD-L1 expression levels. (A) The percentage of PD-L1–expressing cells, measured by flow cytometry, in different peripheral blood cell populations from healthy donors (46/1 nullizygous [blue] and 46/1 homozygous [red]; n = 37 each). ∗P < .05 (nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test). (B) PD-L1 protein levels, determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and expressed as PD-L1/total protein (pg/μg) in CD34+ cells obtained from bone marrow of JAK2-positive patients with MPN (46/1 nullizygous [blue], n = 11; 46/1 homozygous [red], n = 9). Error bars indicate standard error of the mean. B, B lymphocytes; NK, natural killer cells; NKT, natural killer T cells; T, T lymphocytes.
