Whereas phagocytosis in the presence of heat-inactivated serum from NHD showed no significant association with LPC concentrations (not shown), a highly significant negative correlation ( r = –0.556, p < 0.0001) between LPC levels and phagocytosis in case of heat-inactivated serum from patients with SLE was observed (Figure 5 B).
