Popis: CRP is an important inflammatory marker, however, CRP levels are relatively low in patients with SLE. In addition patients with SLE often display low activities and serum levels for DNase I and complement, respectively. Here we show that DNase I treatment of nec PBMC increased their binding of CRP. Consequently, reduced DNase I activity in patients with SLE may contribute to the impaired opsonisation by CRP of dead cells, exacerbating the clearance defect in SLE of apo and nec cells.
