Figure Lengend Snippet: A) Experimental diagram. B) Serum Ig concentrations of patients with NDMM by timepoint (x-axis), isotype (y-axis), and the isotype of each patient’s malignant cell (shapes). Transparency indicates values outside the healthy reference ranges specified in the clinical reports. Data from clinical quantitative Ig assay. C) Percent ASCs of total BMMCs for HDs (left) and patients with NDMM, by timepoint (x-axis). Crossbar indicates mean. Q-values calculated by Wilcoxon rank sum test with FDR correction, comparing to HDs. Data from MM longitudinal BM CITEseq. *Q<0.1; **Q<0.01; ***Q<0.001 D) Percent non-malignant ASCs of total ASCs for patients with NDMM, by timepoint (x-axis). Crossbar indicates mean. Q-values calculated by Wilcoxon rank sum test with FDR correction, comparing to PRETX. Data from MM longitudinal BM CITEseq. ***Q<0.001 E) Percent non-malignant ASC subset of total BMMCs for HDs (left) and patients with NDMM, by timepoint (x-axis) and subset (panels). Crossbar indicates mean. Q-values calculated by Wilcoxon rank sum test with FDR correction, comparing to HDs. Data from MM longitudinal BM CITEseq. *Q<0.1; **Q<0.01; ***Q<0.001
Article Snippet: For the ASC culture condition screen, total BM ASCs were stimulated for 72 hours with CpG ODN 2006 (10μg/mL, Invivogen) or BCR crosslinker (anti-kappa light chain; 1μg/mL, Southern Biotech) with various combinations of stimulatory reagents, including MEGACD40L (0.1μg/ml, Enzo Life Sciences), BAFF (1μg/mL, PeproTech), CXCL12 (0.1μg/ml, R&D Systems), IL-2 (0.1μg/mL, Biolegend), and IL-21 (0.1μg/mL, PeproTech).
