## Abstract ## Objective To delineate disturbances in peripheral B cell memory in primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS). ## Methods Isotype‐specific immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy‐chain transcripts were analyzed in single‐sorted CD19+,CD27− naive and CD19+,CD27+ memory B cells from patients with primary SS
We studied the expression and function of 2 cell surface markers that induce T cell activation, CD3 and CD5, in 19 patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome (SS). The expression of CD3+ lymphocytes was normal, but CD3 function was moderately reduced, as measured by anti-CD3-induced T cell proliferati
## Abstract ## Objective To identify the cells that produce BAFF in the salivary glands of patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS), and to analyze BAFF receptor expression by local T and B lymphocytes. ## Methods We used 3 methods to identify the source of BAFF: in situ hybridization of th
