Fig. 1. Peripheral MDSCs from SS patients were positively correlated with the percentages of Th17 cells and disease activity.

A, B Human peripheral HLA-DR-CD11b+CD33+ MDSCs and CD4+IL-17A+ Th17 cells (HC n = 40, SS n = 40) were detected by flow cytometry. Representative flow cytometric analysis and percentages of MDSCs in HC and SS patients were shown. CE The relationships of MDSCs with Th17 cells, EULAR Sjögren’s Syndrome Disease Activity Index (ESSDAI) and serum IgG were analyzed (n = 40). FH SS patients were divided into antibodies-positive (+) and antibodies-negative (–) two groups, whose percentages of MDSCs were compared. **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001.
