The Histopathology of Labial Salivary Glands in Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome: Focusing on Follicular Helper T Cells in the Inflammatory Infiltrates

<table>Immunohistochemical analysis of the division of T, B, and plasma cell markers with a special emphasis on T<sub>FH</sub>-related molecules in pSS with FS = 2 and pSS with FS = 3. Serial immunostainings of grade 2 and grade 4 aggregates show CD4<sup>+</sup> T helper cells, CD5<sup>+</sup> T and B1 cells, CD20<sup>+</sup> B cells, and CD138<sup>+</sup> plasma cells and markers which play a role in the T<sub>FH</sub>-B cell interaction, namely, CD84, PD-1, and Bcl-6. The magnification of digitalized slides is 10x. Scale bar 200 <i>μ</i>m.</table>
