Circulating microvesicles (MVs) expressing the type 1 interferon-inducible protein galectin-3 binding protein (G3BP) are potentially major sources of autoantigens in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In this study, we explore if plasma concentrations of G3BP-expressing MVs correlate with signs of...
