Association between the frequency of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1)-expressing neutrophils with red blood cells (RBC), hemoglobin (HGB) and hematocrit (HCT). a The frequency of PD-L1-expressing neutrophils in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients correlated negatively with RBC (r 2 = 0.14, P = 0.0011). b The frequency of PD-L1-expressing neutrophils in SLE patients correlated negatively with HGB (r 2 = 0.08, P = 0.0153). c The frequency of PD-L1-expressing neutrophils in SLE patients correlated negatively with HCT (r 2 = 0.16, P = 0.0004)
