2 Figure 1 Representative saturation curves of [3H] dexamethasone binding to peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) and the Scatchard plot (insert) of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) binding studies of a steroid-sensitive (SS) patient (•), a steroid-resistant (SR2) patient (Δ), and a normal patient (♦).

3 Figure 2 Percentage of inhibition of lymphocyte proliferation after incubation in RPMI with concanavalin-A (Con-A) plus different doses of dexamethasone (10-8, 10-6, and 10-4 mol/L) in healthy control patients, steroid-sensitive (SS) patients (•), and steroid-resistant (SR) patients: SR1 (□), SR2 (Δ), SR3 (○). Boxes indicate the 95% CI in control patients. Kidney International  , DOI: ( /j x) Copyright © 2004 International Society of Nephrology Terms and Conditions
