Figure 1.
Correlations between CD38 and CD138 percentages. The percentages of CD38- and CD138-positive cells calculated using FCM analysis had a strong positive correlation in EMZL tissues (r_s=0.78, p=0.001) (A), but not in IgG4-ROD (r_s=−0.03, p=0.93) (B). In all the cases of EMZL and IgG4-ROD, CD38 and CD138 percentages had a moderate positive correlation (r_s=0.54, p=0.007) (C).

Figure 2.
Double-staining FCM analysis for CD38, a marker for activated T cells, plasma cells and NK cells, and CD5, a representative T cell marker, in 2 cases with IgG4-ROD. In one case, the rate of CD38 and CD5 double positive cells was 45% (A). In the other case, it was 20% (B).
