Figure 3.

Correlations in the SLE patients between BLyS parameters and disease activity. Individual (a,d) BLyS protein levels, (b,e) full-length BLyS mRNA levels, and (c,f) ΔBLyS mRNA levels are plotted against corresponding SLEDAI scores (a–c) or modified SLEDAI scores (d–f). BLyS, B lymphocyte stimulator; SLEDAI, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index.
