Correlation between the frequency of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1)-expressing neutrophils with autoantibody. a The frequency of PD-L1-expressing neutrophils was significantly increased in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients with a high antinuclear antibodies (ANA) titer (ANA >1:320) compared to SLE patients with low-to-medium ANA titer (ANA ≤1:320) (P <0.0001). b The frequency of PD-L1-expressing neutrophils was significantly increased in SLE patients who were positive to anti ribonucleoprotein/Smith (anti-nRNP/Sm) (P = 0.007)
