Abstract
⺠Untreated SLE patients were examined before & after steroid ± chloroquine treatment. ⺠All patients had elevated circulating DNA which notably decreased after treatment. ⺠Serum IL-10 and BAFF levels in untreated patients decreased after treatment. ⺠BAFF level in PBMC culture was not altered by chloroquine but correlated with SLEDAI. ⺠Chloroquine abolished CpG-induced B cell activation and IL-10 release in culture.
