Study Data from Army Medical University Update Knowledge of Sjogren's Syndrome (Autoantibody Against Aquaporin-5 May Be a New Diagnostic Biomarker for Primary Sjogren's Syndrome).

A study conducted at Army Medical University in Chongqing, China, explored the potential of autoantibodies against aquaporin-5 (anti-AQP5) as a new diagnostic biomarker for primary Sjogren's Syndrome (pSS). The research involved 163 participants categorized into different groups, with results indicating that elevated levels of anti-AQP5 may serve as a promising diagnostic tool for pSS due to its high sensitivity and specificity. The study utilized enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to determine the levels of autoantibodies and collected clinical data for statistical analysis. [Extracted from the article]
