Anti-α-fodrin antibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Panel A presents the levels of anti-α-fodrin IgA and IgG antibodies in SLE patients, with a dotted line marking the positivity threshold. Panel B shows the absence of a significant correlation between anti-α-fodrin IgA levels and disease activity. Panel C illustrates a significant inverse correlation between anti-α-fodrin IgA levels and serum CCL11/eotaxin levels, while panel D depicts a similar correlation with CCL2/MCP-1 levels. In contrast, panels E–G demonstrate no significant associations between anti-α-fodrin IgG levels and disease activity, CCL11/eotaxin, or CCL2/MCP-1 levels, respectively.
