ITGAM and systemic lupus erythematosus: As shown in Figure 5, univariate analysis showed that the percentages of CD11b+ NK cells correlated with serum anti-dsDNA levels, in SLE patients (r = 0.428, p = 0.041), while the % inhibition of CD62L MFI by IL-15 of NKT-like cells also correlates with serum anti-ds DNA levels (r = 0.374, p = 0.043).
