  • Publication number: 20210215692
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods and composition for assessing conditions related to immune complex (IC)-mediated neutrophil activation and interventions to address the conditions. The disclosed methods include detecting the presence of ICs in a biological sample, and/or detecting the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in a biological sample. Other disclosed methods include detecting the modification or cleavage of FcgRIIA on circulating cells obtained from a patient. The assays and related compositions can identify patients with a severe phenotype and have the capacity to predict future disease flare and disease progression allowing for early preventive treatment and monitoring. The disclosure also provides compositions and kits to support performance of the disclosed methods.
