Supplementary Figure S3 showing expression of CD200R1 in naïve T cells (CD4+CD45RA+) and memory T cells (CD4+CD45RO+) of SLE patients tended to decrease compared with HCs, although it did not reach statistical significance (P = 0.50 and 0.11, respectively). Naïve T cells had less CD200R1 expression than memory T cells both in HCs and SLE patients (P = 0.0003 and P < 0.001).

Supplementary Figure S5 showing the proportion of CD4+CD25highFoxp3+ T cells in new-onset active untreated SLE patients was significantly lower than in HCs (median 1.42, interquartile range 0.75 to 2.43 vs. 2.79, 1.95 to 4.52; P = 0.014). All cells plotted were CD4+.
