CD27+IgD+ B cells correlate
with SLE patient clinical and immunological features
The associations of the CD27+IgD+ B
cell frequencies with demographic and clinical characteristics were
analyzed. As shown in Figures 2A–L and Table 3, WBC, Platelet count and
serum C3 level positively correlated with
CD27+IgD+B cells. We also found the
frequencies of these CD27+IgD+B
cells were negatively correlated with Serum Creatinine level, SLEDAI and
Anti-dsDNA. However, no correlations were noted between the disease
duration, ESR, serum C4 level and serum IgA, IgG, IgM level with
CD27+IgD+B cells. These data
demonstrated that CD27+IgD+B cells
were numerically deficient under SLE circumstance.
