Supplementary Figure. Transcriptional analyis of MBC subsets. (a) Principal component analysis (PCA) of the same dataset, showing that DN, DP, and SP memory B cells differ from each other transcriptionally, but are more related to each other than they are to naive B cells. Analysis was performed on gene expression profiles of most variable probes. DN, DP, SP memory B cell samples and naive B cell samples are projected on the first two PCs, which account for 79% of the variance. (b) Heatmap of differentially expressed genes of the DP subset relative to DN subset. Each column within the labeled cell category is an independent replicate. Genes annotated as transcription factors are colored red. Nature Immunology: doi:.8/ni.91

Supplementary Figure. Quantitative PCR analysis of the expression of zbtb, plk1, cdc and mcm within MBC subsets. MBCs (PI, CD19 +, NIP + ) were sorted from NP-CGG immunized AM1 Tg BALB/c Vκ8R KI BALB/c transfer recipients based on differential expression of CD8 and PD-L (n=, week ). Naive B cells (PI, CD19 +, NIP +, CD9 ) were sorted from B1-8i +/ BALB/c mice. Results were normalized to GAPDH expression and relative changes in gene expression, compared to naive B cells, were calculated using the (-delta delta Ct) method. Error bars are SEM of technical duplicates. Nature Immunology: doi:.8/ni.91
