Correlation of Increased Blood Levels of GITR and GITRL with Disease Severity in Patients with Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome

Figure 1

Comparison of serum GITRL and sGITR levels between pSS and HC. (a) Serum GITRL levels were significantly elevated in SS patients versus HC. (b) Serum sGITR levels were also significantly elevated in SS patients versus HC. Each symbol represents an individual patient and healthy donor. Horizontal lines indicate median values. GITRL: glucocorticoid-induced TNFR-related protein ligand; sGITR: soluble glucocorticoid-induced TNFR-related gene; SS: Sjögren’s syndrome; HC: healthy control.
