Infiltrating CD16+ Are Associated with a Reduction in Peripheral CD14+CD16++ Monocytes and Severe Forms of Lupus Nephritis
Table 3
Peripheral blood levels of Mo subsets according to disease duration, severity of LN, and degree of infiltrations by CD16+ cells.
(a) |
| | Early onset LN | Non-early onset LN | value |
| Classic (CD14++CD16−) | | | 0.021 | Intermediate (CD14++CD16−) | | | 0.488 | Nonclassic (CD14+CD16++) | | | 0.138 |
|
|
(b) |
| | Severe LN | Nonsevere LN | value |
| Classic (CD14++CD16−) | | | 0.340 | Intermediate (CD14++CD16−) | | | 0.240 | Nonclassic (CD14+CD16++) | | | 0.025 |
|
|
(c) |
| | High degree of diffuse CD16+ infiltrates (≥5 cells) | Low degree of diffuse CD16+ infiltrates (<5 cells) | value |
| Classic (CD14++CD16−) | | | 0.627 | Intermediate (CD14++CD16−) | | | 0.198 | Nonclassic (CD14+CD16++) | | | 0.001 |

Severe LN was defined as either Class III or Class IV LN.
