NBDC Research ID: hum0519.v1

 

SUMMARY

Aims: In patients with autoimmune diseases, it is known that immune cells react against components of their own body. By identifying and characterizing immune cells that respond to self-antigens - components that should normally be absent or rendered immunologically inert - we aim to elucidate the mechanisms underlying autoimmune pathology and contribute to the advancement of medical science.

Methods: Single cell RNA sequencing/TCR repertoire analyses

Participants/Materials: Labial salivary gland tissue obtained from patients with Sjögren's syndrome who tested positive for anti-SSA antibodies
