Figure 5From: B lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) isoforms in systemic lupus erythematosus: disease activity correlates better with blood leukocyte BLyS mRNA levels than with plasma BLyS protein levelsNo correlation in SLE between BLyS mRNA isoforms and percentages of individual leukocyte cell types. Individual (a–c) full-length BLyS mRNA levels and (d–f) ΔBLyS mRNA levels are plotted against corresponding peripheral blood percentages of neutrophils (a,d), monocytes (b,e), and lymphocytes (c,f).
