Histochemical analysis of collagen fiber deposition in SG tissues from healthy controls (a) and pSS (b) patients. The slides were subjected to Masson’s trichrome staining to analyze collagen deposition (blue). At 10x magnification, a remarkable deposition of collagen fibers was seen in the interstitial area around acinar and ductal cells in pSS SG tissues (b), as compared to controls (a). Scale .
