From: Cytokine profiling in active and quiescent SLE reveals distinct patient subpopulations
Differences in cytokine levels between patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and healthy subjects. The plots show the serum level (picograms/millilitre) of each of the 10 cytokines in patients with SLE and in healthy controls. The bar represents the median value. Data were compared using the Mann-Whitney test; n.s. = not significant, **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001. Both values remained significant after Bonferroni correction. CXCL, chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand; BLyS B, lymphocyte stimulator; IFNα, interferon alpha; PTX, pentraxin-related protein; MCP, monocyte chemotactic protein
