2 Figure 1 Box plots of urine protein by months since start of rituximab therapy. The top and bottom of the box are the estimated 75th and 25th percentiles, respectively. The intermediate horizontal line and ‘+’ sign represent the median and mean urine protein, respectively. The vertical lines extend to the largest (smallest) data point, that is, within 1.5 times the interquartile range (75th–25th percentile) above the 75th percentile (or below the 25th). The number of patients with follow-up at 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months are 15, 15, 15, 14, 14, and 14, respectively.

4 Figure 3 Dynamics of CD19+ B cells in patients with IMN versus RA versus ANCA-associated vasculitis. Patients with IMN and RA were treated with rituximab 1 g i.v. on days 1 and 15. Patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis received rituximab 375 mg m−2 i.v. on days 1, 8, 15, and 22.
