Figure 1. Protein expression in serum in different severity
grades and ethnic groups.
(a) Volcano plot of expressed serum proteins in SJS, SJS/TEN (n=10) vs.
TEN (n=6) at baseline (day 0). Protein expression was measured by OLINK
high-throughput targeted proteomics (inflammation and immune response
panels), as described in our manuscript. (b) Box plots showing the serum
levels of CNTNAP2, the only protein differentially expressed between
ethnic subgroups (African: n=1; Asian: n=5; Caucasian: n=10), at
baseline (day 0).
