Figure 3

Mean IgG1 galactosylation levels in relation to rheumatoid arthritis disease activity levels. For this purpose at every timepoint all cases were divided in two categories; that is, those with a DAS28>3.2 or DAS28<2.6. Please note that each timepoint may include different RA-cases. For comparison controls are added to the graph. The IgG1 galactosylation level which is associated with disease remission (DAS28 <2.6) is dependent on the timepoint of measurement. Similar data were observed for IgG2 (data not shown). The vertical bars illustrate the 95% confidence intervals. Abbreviations: DAS28 = disease activity score; trim = trimester of pregnancy; wk = weeks; PP = postpartum; mon = months.
