Fig. 3From: Chemerin 156F, generated by chymase cleavage of prochemerin, is elevated in joint fluids of arthritis patientsLevels of chemerin forms in synovial fluid of patients with RA and OA. a, b chem163S (), chem158K (), chem157S (), chem156F (), and chem155A () levels in synovial fluid of patients with a OA (n = 25) and b RA (n = 25) determined using specific ELISAs as described under “Methods”. Horizontal lines show mean ± SEM. c Chemerin forms in synovial fluid of OA and RA presented as percentage of sum of five specific ELISAs. d Ratio of cleaved chemerin levels (sum of chem158K, chem157S, chem156F, and chem155A) to sum of five chemerin forms in synovial fluid of OA and RA.
