Popis: Introduction: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic and complex autoimmune disease with a wide range of clinical manifestations that affects multiple organs and tissues. Therefore the differential expression of proteins in the serum/plasma have potential clinical applications when treating SLE. Methods: We have compared the plasma/serum protein expression patterns of nineteen active SLE patients with those of twelve age-matched and gender-matched healthy controls by proteomic analysis. To investigate the differentially expressed proteins among SLE and controls, a 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis coupled with high-resolution liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry was performed. To further understand the molecular and biological functions of the identified proteins, PANTHER and Gene Ontology (GO) analyses were employed. Results: A total of 14 significantly expressed (p
