Expression of L1 retrotransposons in granulocytes from patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus

Abstract Background Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have autoantibodies against the L1-encoded open-reading frame 1 protein (ORF1p). Here, we report (i) which immune cells ORF1p emanates from, (ii) which L1 loci are transcriptionally active, (iii) whether the cells express L1-depend...
