The Histopathology of Labial Salivary Glands in Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome: Focusing on Follicular Helper T Cells in the Inflammatory Infiltrates
Figure 3
Plots indicating the distribution of T, B, and plasma cell markers with a special emphasis on TFH-related molecules in the inflammatory infiltrates in the two subgroups. Measurements were performed on digitalized slides with the HistoQuant module of Pannoramic Viewer software. The relative mask area is indicated in case of each marker that is presented on Figure 2. MA: overall mask area in mm2-summed area of each detected object in each layer; FA: overall field area in mm2; rMA: (MA/FA) 100, relative mask (object) area in %. Horizontal lines represent the mean value of the group.
