Figure 3.
Effects of prednisone on serum anti-dsDNA antibodies, anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA), IL-21, and IL-10 in MRL/lpr mice. Serum levels of autoantibody production (A, B), IL-21 (C), and IL-10 (D) in the model group (n=5), prednisone 2.5 mg/kg group (n=6), and prednisone 5.0 mg/kg group (n=7) were detected via ELISA. bP<0.05, cP<0.01 vs the model group.
