Surface phenotype of peripheral blood B cells was analyzed by flow cytometry and GM1 expression on B cells was detected by confocal microscopy. (a) SLE patients had a lower expression of CD27+IgD+ B cells than healthy controls, P < 0.05. SLE patients with renal injury had a higher expression of CD27+IgD+ B cells than SLE patients with no renal injury, P < 0.05. (b) The frequency of either CD38+CD95+ B cells or CD38+ B cells was significantly higher in SLE patients than in healthy controls, but there was no difference in the percentage of CD95+ B cells between SLE patients and healthy controls. The coexpression of CD38 and GM1 in SLE B cells was increased significantly in SLE patients. Horizontal line represents the median.
