Circulating Human Neonatal Naïve B cells are Deficient in CD73 Impairing Purine Salvage

Background: Extracellular purines, in particular adenosine (Ado) and adenosine-triphosphate (ATP), are critical immunoregulatory molecules. Expression and activity of purine ecto-enzymes on B cells in neonatal and adult blood may influence their function and has been incompletely characterized. Meth...
