Effects of age and gender on B cell subsets after splenectomy in mixed model analysis.

Data was log transformed to normalize the distribution and the effects of age and gender on B cell subpopulations were determined. Populations included B cell (% B cells), memory B cells (% mB cells) and IgM memory B cells (IgM mB cells) as a proportion of lymphocytes, IgM memory B cells as a proportion of B lymphocytes (% IgM mB/B cells) and IgM memory B cells as a proportion of memory B cells (% IgM mB/mB).
