Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The study involves collection of a single blood sample from patients diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus. Information on age, gender, self-identified ethnicity will be collected as well as data from the medical notes about recent lab-test results on lupus, kidney function and medications received as part of routine care.
This is a single observation at this one timepoint.

Statistical methods / analysis
The range of IC50 values (in ex vivo treated blood cells) from up to n=17 donors will be reported. The mean and SD (or median, IQR) will be reported. The data will be compared to data collected from a historical group of healthy volunteer donors. Comparison of the means of the continuous variable ( IC50 values) between the groups (patient vs heathy controls) will be assessed using T-test and a P value <0.05 will be considered significant.
