Table 2.

Sera from patients with SLE were divided according to total neutrophil count of <3000 and the presence of anti-Ro, then each serum was assayed for neutrophil binding IgG in FACS

Anti-Ro&plus; Anti-Ro
< 3000 neutrophils 264 184
365 220
305 237
305
> 3000 neutrophils 212 175
273 245
143

Data are given for the median fluorescence of individual sera with 14 normal sera averaging a value of 165 and FITC conjugate alone giving a value of 22. The anti-Ro/neutrophil <3000 group was significantly different from the other three groups by a Wilcoxon rank analysis (P < 0·0001).
