(a) Comparative immunohistochemistry assay of CCP, PAD2, and citrulline in controls and Sjögren patients; note that 10% of normal biopsies express the PAD2 enzyme, while Sjögren patients exclusively express CCP mutually distributed with PAD2. (b) Distribution of CCP/PAD2 in compartments of salivary glands of Sjögren patients.
