Figure legend. a Fluorescent product curves in the real-time coumarin boronic acid (CBA) assay in control subjects and IIM patients. Bold lines indicate median values (for clarity, axes were truncated at 1600 FLU/mL and 10 h). b Summary plot showing the median FLU values with interquartile range (shaded area) in all IIM patients (n = 56) and controls (n = 50). c The saturating concentration (K), growth velocity (R factor), and cumulative fluorescent (FL) product generation in the real-time coumarin boronic acid (CBA) assay in dermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis (PM) patients and control group. Data are presented as median with interquartile range. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 (Mann–Whitney test). Abbreviations: IIM – idiopathic inflammatory myopathy; DM – dermatomyositis; FLU – fluorescence units, ns – non-significant
