Nongranular and CD138 cells were isolated with the use of cell sorting from populations of activated B lymphocytes. Sorted cells corresponded to CD100+CD38+CD138 cells from small B lymphocyte and large B lymphocyte populations, as defined in Figure 1.

PTP activity was assayed in CD100, CD45, and CD148 immunoprecipitates (2 × 106 cells/100 μL of lysates) and is expressed as the absorbance at 405 nm. All experimental procedures are described in “Materials and Methods.”

NS, not significant value (absorbance < 0.05); ND, not determined.
