  1. RA - rheumatoid arthritis; SLE - systemic lupus erythematosus; OA - osteoarthritis; HC - healthy volunteers (controls). Results are expressed as means ± standard deviation of equivalents of CEL-crystallin or Rib-BSA. Samples with the level of measured antigen below the detection limit of the assay were not included in the calculation; these were 1 RA, 5 SLE, and 7 HC samples, respectively, assayed for CEL in the part "RA versus SLE versus HC", and 19 OA samples assayed for CEL and 1 OA sample assayed for 103-E3 antigen in the part "RA versus OA".
