Determination of genetic polymorphism of properdin factor B (Bf) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus / 中国病理生理杂志

ABSTRACT

The distribution of properdin factor B (Bf)allotypes and their gene frequencies in 81 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was investigated using high voltage agarose gel electrophoresis and subsequent immunofixation, in an attempt to define whether specific Bf allotypes were associated with the disease. An increase in gene frequency of Bf F in the patients with SLE (0.1914) was found in comparison with that in the controls (0.1159), P_(correct)
