Serum antinuclear antibodies (ANA) were detected using indirect immunofluorescence assay (EUROIMMUN, Lübeck, Germany) and anti-double-stranded DNA antibodies were detected using Crithidia luciliae indirect immunofluorescence test (EUROIMMUN, Lübeck, Germany). Anti-extractable nuclear antigen (ENA) antibodies, including anti-Sm, anti-SSA, anti-SSB and anti-RNP antibody, were detected using immunodotting assay (EUROIMMUN, Lübeck, Germany). Anti-cardiolipin antibodies were detected using ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) (EUROIMMUN). Serum C3 was determined using rate nephelometry assay (Beckman-Coulter, IMMAGE, USA, normal range>0.85g/L).
Immunodotting assay
The Immunodotting assay is a diagnostic tool used in clinical laboratories. It is designed to detect and identify specific antibodies or antigens in a sample. The assay involves the application of a sample onto a membrane or strip, followed by the detection of target analytes through the use of labeled reagents. The core function of the Immunodotting assay is to provide a qualitative or semi-quantitative analysis of the presence and/or amount of the target molecules in the tested sample.

Diagnostic Utility of Salivary Gland Biopsy
Evaluating Autoantibodies and Salivary Gland Pathology in pSS
All patients underwent LSG biopsies. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) -stained sections were assessed by the same experienced pathologist, and pathology reports were recorded according to the Chisholm and Mason grading system (grade 0–4) [19 (link)]. The focus score (FS) which referred to the mean number of mononuclear cell infiltrates with 50 or more inflammatory cells per 4 mm2 of periductal or perivascular tissue [20 (link)] was recorded for each patient.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
