Figure 4. Expression of LAIR-1 and NKp44 on pDCs from SLE patients.
PBMC samples were isolated from SLE patients and age matched healthy donors and the levels LAIR-1 and NKp44 expression on pDCs were investigated. A representative experiment is shown in panel A. The horizontal bars within the dot-plot depict negative controls with isotype-matched irrelevant mAbs. Results from different independent experiments are summarized in B. Geo-MFI index was used to compare the levels of LAIR-1 and NKp44 expression on pDCs and calculated as: Geo-MFI of positive cells/Geo-MFI of isotype staining cells.
