Gender Differences of B Cell Signature in Healthy Subjects Underlie Disparities in Incidence and Course of SLE Related to Estrogen
Figure 5
Expression levels of CAMP, LTF, and DEFA4 measured by qPCR in B cells from SLE patients. B cells were purified from eight male SLE patients and eight female SLE patients. Then the expression of CAMP, LTF, and DEFA4 was checked by qPCR. The data are presented as relative expression following normalization. Asterisks represent significant difference to the male ().
