ICAM-1 expression is lower on various lymph node B-cell subsets in splenectomized animals.
(A) Representative histograms of the ICAM-1 expression for NF (IgMhighCD90high), ERF (IgMlowCD90high), RF (IgMlowCD90−), and MZ (IgMhighCD90−) B cells are demonstrated in blood (white) versus lymph node (gray) of normal animals. (B) The ICAM-1 expression of the B-cell subsets in blood and lymph node is depicted for each normal animal. The values for the blood and lymph node of each rat are connected by a line. (C) The ICAM-1 expression of B-cell subsets in lymph node of control and splenectomized animals is shown. The values are given as the mean of the mean fluorescence intensity ± SD (n = 5-6 for each group). The asterisk represents a significant difference (Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test or Mann-Whitney U test; P < .05).
