Figure 5

From: B cells and monocytes from patients with active multiple sclerosis exhibit increased surface expression of both HERV-H Env and HERV-W Env, accompanied by increased seroreactivity

Figure 5

Multiparameter regression between the levels of anti-HERV-H/-W Env blood serum antibodies measured by TRIFMA vs. the levels of surface expression of HERV-H Env and HERV-W Env epitopes on B-cells and monocytes from patients with active MS (AMS), stable MS patients (SMS), and healthy individuals (HC) measured by flow cytometry (expressed as fluorescence indices calculated as the ratio of the mean fluorescence of the cells incubated with anti-Env Abs to the mean fluorescence of the cells incubated with the appropriate control (pre-immune serum)). The solid line for CD19+ cells and dashed line for monocytes indicate the regression line. Correlation coefficient (r2) and statistical (P ≤ 0.05) significance are shown.
