Plasma ceramide profile.
<p>Plasma ceramide species were measured by LC/ESI/MS/MS analysis. (A) Ceramide profiles are shown as a heat map similar to above. Ceramide concentrations were log-transformed prior to computing z-scores. Ceramide profile elements (columns) were not clustered. (B) Select plots of individual ceramide species, each symbol represents an individual subject, red lines indicate mean.</p
Increased total peripheral blood B cells in IDUs.
<p>PBMC were analyzed by flow cytometry. (<b>A</b>) Representative plots gated on live, CD14-CD3-CD4- lymphocytes, the gate is colored red to highlight the expanded CD19+CD20+ total B cell population in IDUs. (<b>B</b>) Frequency of CD19+ (live, CD14-CD3-CD4-) populations among lymphocytes defined by FSC and SSC, each symbol is an individual subject, the red lines indicate mean. The singular CD19+ population is the combination of both the CD19+CD20low/neg population and the CD19+CD20+ population. Flow cytometry was conducted once per sample.</p
