by their additional expression of CD138, CD78, and the Interleukin-6 receptor. In humans, CD27 is a good marker for plasma cells; naïve B cells are CD27-, memory B-cells are CD27+ and plasma cells are CD27++.

The surface antigen CD138 (syndecan-1) is expressed at high levels.

Another important surface antigen is CD319 (SLAMF7).
