Anti-C1s, Anti-HMGB1 and Anti-C1q Autoantibodies in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (DYSALARM-322)

Regarding the exploration of anti-C1s autoantibodies purified from the SLE patients' serum, the investigators will evaluate their effects on the formation of the C1r2C1s2 tetramer and interaction with C1q and their effects on the esterase activity of C1s. Regarding the exploration of anti-HMGB1 autoantibodies purified from the SLE patients' serum, the investigators will evaluate their effects on the binding of HMGB1 to its RAGE receptor and their effects on the binding of HMGB1 to C1q. Regarding the exploration of anti-C1q autoantibodies purified from the SLE patients' serum, the investigators will evaluate their effects on the binding of C1q to its receptors and to the C1r2C1s2 tetramer and their effects on the activation of the classical Complement pathway.
