## Abstract ## Objective Treatment with rituximab depletes B cells from the peripheral blood (PB) and salivary glands (SGs) of patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS). The purpose of this study was to track the repopulation of B cell subsets in PB as well as their subsequent homing into SGs
Objective. Salivary glands of patients with Sjogren's syndrome (SS) have been shown to be a site of antias-B/La antibody production. The present study investigated differences in the localization of the SS-B/La antigen in labial salivary gland (LSG) tissue between SS and non-SS patients, which may e
