Sorting parameters and purity analysis of sorted plasma cells and PC-depleted cells from patient no. 8. Sort windows were set to include CD38++CD45− plasma cells (PC window) and to exclude CD38++CD45− and CD45+ plasma cells (PC-depleted window) (A). Sorted cells were reanalyzed by flow cytometry for purity. The PC fraction contained 99.4% CD38++CD45− plasma cells (B) and the PC-depleted fraction contained 98.5% cells that fell within the parameters of the PC-depleted sort window and 1.2% cells that fell within the PC window.
