Figure 5. Association between the mean fluorescence index (MFI) of pSTAT5 in B cells and cytokine levels in SLE patients.
The concentrations of serum IL2 (A), IFNγ (B) and G-CSF (C),correlated positively with the MFI of STAT5 in the B cells of SLE patients. (D) The serum prolactin concentration correlated positively with the MFI of pSTAT5 in the T cells of SLE patients. MFI, mean fluorescence index; IL, interleukin; IFNγ, interferon γ; G-CSF, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor; PRL, prolactin.
