Serum IgG N-glycosylation profiles distinguish primary Sjögren’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus and are associated with disease activity in Sjögren’s disease

Background: IgG N-glycosylation regulates immune effector functions and inflammation, but disease-specific patterns in primary Sjögren’s disease (SjD), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are insufficiently defined, particularly in SjD. Objectives: To identify serum IgG
