  1. Spearman’s rho correlation coefficient test was used to test correlation between 82 differentially expressed protein concentrations and the European League Against Rheumatism Sjögren’s Syndrome Disease Activity Index (ESSDAI) scores. EPHB-2, ephrin type-B receptor 2, CXCL13, C-X-C motif chemokine 13, β2MG β2-microglobulin, BAFF B-cell activating factor, TNF-R2 TNF receptor 2, LAG-3, lymphocyte activation gene-3, PD-L2 programmed cell death protein 1 ligand 2A P value <0.01 was considered significant
