Methods The comparison data for three of the six lupus nephritis panel analytes (MCP-1, NGAL, and adiponectin) is shown below. Samples were run both on ELISA and Luminex simplex assays to determine how well the ELISA data correlated with Luminex data prior to assembling the analytes into a panel. Pearson correlation coefficients were 0.88 (p=0.04) for NGAL, 0.89 (p
