Analysis of Erythrocyte C4d to Complement Receptor 1 Ratio: Use in Distinguishing between Infection and Flare-Up in Febrile Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Figure 2

Flow cytometric analysis of E-C4d and E-CR1 expression in (a) febrile SLE patients with infection, (b) febrile SLE patients without infection, (c) non-SLE febrile patients with infection, and (d) healthy controls. Erythrocytes were stained with anti-C4d (black lines, open histogram), CR1-2B11 (dashed lines, open histogram), and isotype-matched control antibodies (solid gray histogram).
