ND indicates not determined.
IL-21R expression was assessed by immunoflurescence with a PE-conjugated anti–IL-21R mAb. The percentage of positive cells is shown for each case. ZAP-70 and CD38 expression was evaluated as described in “Materials and methods.”
P < .001, IL-21R versus CD38; P = .6, IL-21R versus ZAP-70; and P = .9, IL-21R versus IgVH mutations.
