“…This is supported by recent observations that varying levels of various immune markers, many belonging to the adaptive immune system, are influenced by nonheritable factors such as the environment (27). High blood concentrations of CXCL13, sTNF-R1, sCD23, sCD27, and sCD30 have been associated to disease states related to immune system activation, such as autoimmune diseases, hepatitis, and HIV infection (28)(29)(30)(31)(32). Another plausible explanation for the observed marker increase over time may thus be longstanding chronic inflammation, or infection leading to sustained B-or T-cell activation, and ultimately resulting in lymphoma development (33).…”

“…Both differences might reflect an abnormality in activation status of the naive subpopulation. Thus, disturbed B cell differentiation, activation, and/or (re)circulation between immune compartments may contribute to the disturbed B cell homeostasis in primary SS (10,30). Detailed understanding of the impact of chemokines and their cognate receptors, including their regulation, may allow the development of future therapeutic interventions in primary SS, a disease unresponsive to classic immunosuppression.…”

“…Moreover, the formation of ectopic GCs carries a higher risk of developing B cell lymphoma [2][3][4]. The selection of mutated high-affinity GC B cells depends on the restimulation with antigen arrayed on follicular dendritic cells and the provision of help by follicular helper T (T FH ) cells [5].…”
