In addition, SLE patients exhibited significantly higher levels of EBV-VCA IgG, (mean ISR 4.1 vs 3.5; p = 0.0060), EBV-VCA IgA (mean ISR 1.2 vs 0.8; p = 0.022), EBV-EA IgG (mean ISR 1.2 vs 0.5; p = 0.0014), and CMV IgG (mean ISR 2.9 vs 2.2: p = 0.049) (Fig. 2). The gene discussed is CD79A; the disease is systemic lupus erythematosus.
