| Detection by Elisa | Healthy Controls (%) | primary Sjögren's syndrome (%) |
|---|---|---|
| HBsAg | 0/11 (0%) | 0/13 (0%) |
| Anti-HBc Elisa | 1/8 (12.5%) | 1/13 (7.7%)# |
| Anti-HBc LIPS | 2/7 (28.6%) | 1/12 (8.3%)# |
| Anti-HDAg Elisa | 0/8 (0%) | 0/21 (0%) |
| Anti-HDAg LIPS | 0/7(0%) | 0/10 (0%) |
Antibodies to HDAg and Hepatitis B virus core (HBc) and HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) were quantified in serum by ELISA and the LIPS assay.

The pSS patient positive for anti-HBc was negative for HDV within the salivary gland.
