3. Figure 2
Percentages of pitted red cells in 29 patients who had a splenectomy, 10 patients with complicated CD, 27 celiac patients with AID, 36 celiac patients without AID, 34 nonceliac patients with AID, and 35 healthy volunteers. ▴, Patients with complicated CD affected by enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma; ■, patients affected by refractory sprue and ulcerative jejunoileitis with a monoclonal rearrangement of the TCR-γ; , patients with complicated CD and concomitant splenic atrophy. The dashed line indicates the upper limit of the control range (4%).

4. Figure 3
Phenotypic analysis of B cells in the peripheral blood of a (A, B) splenectomized patient, (C, D) a hyposplenic celiac patient, and (E, F) a healthy volunteer. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were stained with antibodies to CD22, CD27, IgM, and IgD and were analyzed by 4-color flow cytometry. Data are shown as density plots and are representative of all patients and controls. (A, C, E) Two populations of CD22+ cells were identified: CD27+ memory B cells (upper rectangles) and CD27− mature B cells (lower rectangles). The numbers indicate the frequency of memory B cells, calculated as a percentage of CD22+ B cells. (B, D, F) Two populations of memory B cells were identified: IgMbright IgDdull IgM memory B cells (upper right rectangles) and switched memory B cells (lower left rectangles) lacking both IgM and IgD. The numbers indicate the frequency of IgM memory B cells, calculated as a percentage of CD22+ B cells.

Correlation between the percentage of pitted red cells and the percentage of IgM memory B cells in all 73 celiac patients. Patient with complicated CD (▴); celiac patients with AID (•); and celiac patients without AID (○). rs = −.34; P = .001.
