Decreased of BAFF-R expression and B cells maturation in patients with hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma

Figure 2 The frequency of B cell-activating factor receptors expression was significantly lower in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma compared with the other groups. Representative fluorescence activated cell sorting and statistic plots of A: B cell-activating factor receptors; B: Transmembrane activator and cyclophilin ligand interactor; C: B-cell maturation antigen. TACI: Transmembrane activator and cyclophilin ligand interactor; BCMA: B-cell maturation antigen; BAFF-R: B cell-activating factor receptors; HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma; HC: Healthy controls.
