Expression of RHAMM on B-Lineage Cells in MM

Cell Type (no. of patients)% Expressing RHAMM
25th Percentile Median75th Percentile
MM  
 BM plasma cells (15)* 41 74 93  
 Blood B cells (90)  28  57 92  
Normal donors  
 B cells (12)  1  3.5

PBMC or BMC were stained in two color immunofluorescence as indicated in Materials and Methods. Files were gated for B or plasma cells and the expression of RHAMM plotted as a histogram (as in Fig1), in comparison to identically gated isotype-matched control staining.
