Fig. 2 — Relationship between anti‐measles immunoglobulin (Ig)G and anti‐citrate synthase (CS) IgG natural autoantibody titers [in systemic sclerosis (SSc), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease groups (n _RA = 73; n _SLE = 92; n _SSc = 157]. Qualitative (positive, negative) anti‐measles IgG results were compared to quantitative anti‐CS IgG results (expressed in arbitrary units, based on our in‐house standard), using Mann–Whitney U analysis. Significantly higher levels of natural anti‐CS IgG were detected in anti‐measles IgG‐seropositive compared to seronegative samples in RA, SLE and SSc. Boxes show interquartile ranges (IQR); whiskers indicate lowest and highest values; horizontal lines represent medians.
