Selective localization of T helper subsets in labial salivary glands from primary Sjögren's syndrome patients
The aim of this study was to investigate the initiation and progression of autoimmune damage in the lesions of labial salivary glands (LSGs) from primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS) patients by examining the selective localization of T helper (Th) subsets such as Th1, Th2, Th17 regulatory T cells (T(regs)) and follicular T helper cells (Tfh). The expression of cytokines and transcription factors as...
متن کاملCommon T cell receptor clonotype in lacrimal glands and labial salivary glands from patients with Sjögren's syndrome.
Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration into lacrimal and salivary glands leading to symptomatic dry eyes and mouth. Immunohistological studies have clarified that the majority of infiltrating lymphocytes around the lacrimal glands and labial salivary glands are CD4 positive alphabeta T cells. To analyze the pathogenesis of T cells infiltrating...
متن کاملCharacterisation of follicular dendritic cells in labial salivary glands of patients with primary Sjögren syndrome: comparison with tonsillar lymphoid follicles.
OBJECTIVE To localise and characterise follicular dendritic cells (FDC) present in autoimmune lesions of primary Sjögren syndrome. METHODS Cryostat sections of labial salivary glands from 15 patients with primary Sjögren syndrome were examined by an indirect immunoperoxidase technique and monoclonal antibodies to a panel of dendritic cell markers. Tonsils from two controls were also examined ...
متن کاملObservations of Nerve Terminals in Human Labial Salivary Glands
The existence of a motor innervation to the secretory and myoepithelial elements of salivary glands has been supported amply by physiological and pharmacological studies extending over a century (reviewed in Babkin, 1950 ; Emmelin, 1967) . However, the exact morphological nature of this innervation at the acinar level is less well established, and has been the subject of several conflicting rep...
متن کاملDetection of AA-type amyloid protein in labial salivary glands.
OBJECTIVES Among the diverse forms of amyloidosis, secondary type is the most frequent one. Diagnosis of amyloid deposition is based on the identification of the fibrillary protein amyloid by means of Congo Red (CR) or crystal violet (CV) stains, but these techniques do not differentiate between the different types of amyloid fibrils. The aim of this study was to identify by immunofluorescence ...
