Although CMV pp52 and EBV EA/D IgG levels were elevated in both SLE and DIL compared to HCs, no significant differences in these IgG levels were determined between the two lupus groups, and no correlation was determined between the CMV pp52 IgG and EBV EA/D IgG in SLE and DIL groups (Figure 2). The gene discussed is LSP1; the disease is systemic lupus erythematosus.
