  1. R = Spearman’s correlation coefficient, p = p-value, n = number of cases available for analysis. IGKC = immunoglobulin kappa c; PIGR = polymeric immunoglobulin receptor. *significance at 5 % level, ** significance at 1 % level. The analysis are based on cytoplasmic score (multipliers of staining intensity and fraction) for PIGR and core score for IGKC, CD20 and CD138
