Clustering analysis on detected cytokines in SLE and HC. The concentrations of serum IL-1β, TNFR1, IL-4, IL-6, IL-9, IL-10, IL-17A, MCP-1, IFN-γ, G-CSF, IL-12, CCL17, and CCL20 in SLE patients (n = 49) and control subjects (n = 22) were assessed as explained in Figure 4, followed by hierarchical clustering analysis. The heatmap provides a qualitative evaluation of subjects in each group with regard to their cytokine and chemokine expression profiles. The heatmap legend indicates the fold change value range.
