Comparison of γ-glutamyl-transpeptidase (GGT) enzyme activity and CD53 expression in T and PMN of normal and SLE patients. (a) GGT enzyme activity. (b) Surface CD53 expression. (c) A typical case demonstrating surface CD53 expression on normal and SLE-PMN using flow cytometry. A similar tendency was seen in the cells of an additional 3 normal individuals and 3 SLE patients.
