Mapping of the SS proteome holds significant promise for revealing valuable biomarkers useful in the diagnosis and classification of the disease. It also stands to aide in drug discovery and monitoring of treatment efficacy with the goal of early treatment to prevent disease progression. Recent studies aimed at cataloguing the normal human proteome have identified over 1,100 proteins in human saliva [55]. Multiple studies have evaluated the proteomes of whole saliva and minor salivary glands in SS [61–65].
