Figure 4.
Altered BCR signaling kinetics distinguish individual FL samples. BCR-mediated phosphorylation of Btk, Syk, Erk1/2, and p38 was observed at numerous times over a 2-hour time course in 3 representative FL samples (FL-P07, FL-P10, FL-P11). Cells were stimulated by BCR cross-linking and H2O2 (α-μ/γ + H2O2) or left unstimulated (0 minute), and the MFI of CD20+ B cells was graphed for each phosphoprotein. The area under the curve has been shaded to indicate the sum of signaling induction over time in B cells from each FL sample. As a reference, the same plot of the average MFI and standard deviation observed in 3 samples of normal PBMCs (PBMC Average) is shown on each graph.
