Correlation between gelsolin levels and levels of Gc-globulin and albumin.

Levels of gelsolin and either Gc-globulin (n = 21; panel A) or albumin (n = 15; panel B) are plotted for individual patients. Crosses indicate patients dying of early IPS-induced respiratory failure. r values are the Pearson correlation coefficients. Regression lines were fitted by Cricket Graph version 1.3.2 (Cricket Software, Malvern, PA). Mean gelsolin and Gc-globulin levels with SDs assayed by immunoblotting are given for 11 healthy volunteers in the lower left corner of panel A.
