DN B cells express the highest levels of RNA for pro-inflammatory cytokines, as compared to the other B cell subsets. B cell subsets were sorted from the blood of young and elderly HIV individuals, and from age-matched healthy controls. After sorting, B cell subsets were left unstimulated, the RNA was extracted and qPCR performed to evaluate RNA expression of TNF-α (top) and IL-6 (bottom). Asteriscs indicate the differences between DN B cells and the other B cell subsets. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001
