Flow cytometry analyses were performed on single-cells suspensions from spleen, bone marrow, lymph nodes as previously described (20 (link)). Antibodies include: CD43(S7), CD5(53-7.3), CD138(281.2), CD21/35(7G6), CD23(B3B4), CD11b/Mac-1(M1/70) and IgK from BD Pharmingen (San Diego, CA); B220(RA3-6B2), CD19(eBio1D3), CD8a(53-6.7), CD4(L3T4), CD3ε(145-2C11) and TCRβ(H57-597) from eBioscience (San Diego, CA); Ter119 and Gr1(RB6-8C3) from BioLegend (San Diego, CA); IgM and IgD from Southern Biotech (Birmingham, AL) and PNA from Vector Labs (Burlingame, CA). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining was performed on formalin fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections as described previously using the following antibodies: B220, CD3, PAX5, BCL6, IRF4 and CD138 (21 (link)). Immunofluorescence on paraffin-embedded tissues was performed using antibodies against Ki67 (SP6, Abcam, Cambridge, MA), and B220 (RA-3B62, BD Pharmingen). Images were acquired with a Nikon Eclipse 80i microscope (Nikon, Melville, NY) and processed on NIS-Elements AR 3.10 software (Nikon, Melville, NY).
