Figure 7. IL-17-positive neutrophils infiltrate SLE skin.

Figure 7

Direct immunofluorescence staining of IL-17 (green) and MPO (red) in affected lupus dermis. A. Arrows highlight intact IL-17+ neutrophils in a blood vessel. Bar = 200 μm. B. IL-17 present in a NET (arrow). Bar = 10μm. C. Frequency of IL-17 expression in intact neutrophils and NETs in SLE skin. Percentages of 1) IL17+ neutrophils of all IL17+ cells, 2) IL17+ neutrophils of all intact neutrophils and 3) IL17+ NETs of all NETs are reported in the graph.
