Table 1.
Anti-type VII collagen IgG levels in sera of BSLE patient 3 months prior, 3 weeks after, and 12 months after disease onset, EBA, normal, DLE, and SLE patients.
Sample | Anti-type VII collagen IgG (U/mL) |
---|---|
BSLE patient 3 months before disease onset | 9.23 |
BSLE patient 3 weeks after disease onset | 71.74 |
BSLE patient 12 months after disease onset | 2.30 |
EBA patients (N=2), mean±SD | 141.46±67.01 |
Normal controls (N=14)*, mean±SD | 0.11±0.40 |
DLE patients (N=13)*, mean±SD | 0.36±0.93 |
SLE patients (N=13)*, mean±SD | 0.23±0.37 |
Compared with EBA patients, normal, DLE, and SLE patients had significantly lower anti-type VII collagen IgG (p<0.01). Sera for age- and gender-matched normal controls, DLE patients, and SLE patients were obtained from the UTSW Cutaneous Lupus Registry. None of the normal, DLE, and SLE samples was positive.
