We evaluated the epitopic specificity pattern of anti-human thyroglobulin (anti-hTg) autoantibodies from patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome (SS). All of the primary SS sera tested contained both IgC and IgM anti-hTg autoantibodies recognizing at least 1 region on hTg; in 65% of the cases, 3 or
