A shortlist of candidate blood biomarkers for stratifying pSS patients to be further evaluated in Task 4.6.

Using the pSS subsets identified in D4.2 to identify blood-based biomarkers characterising these subsets. Blood-based biomarkers may be derived from, but not limited to serum/plasma, whole blood or peripheral mononuclear cells, and the biomarkers may be proteins, metabolities and/or RNA. Priority will be given to biomarkers that are relatively easy to measure accurately and reproducibly using widely available molecular technology.
