HEL-Specific B Cells Are Activated during γHV68 Infection and Are Infected by γHV68

<div><p>(A) Splenocytes from mock infected and γHV68 infected B6 and HELMET mice were stained with antibodies specific for CD19 and CD69 16 d after infection. Shown are the percentages of splenic CD19⁺ cells that express CD69 (left). Shown are representative dot plots (right).</p><p>(B) Frequency splenic HEL-specific B cells that carry viral genome 16 d post infection (left). Shown is a representative histogram of the purity of the B cell population after purification (right). These data are representative of two independent experiments using five mice per experiment.</p>
