Common 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 کاملSelective 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 کاملRetrovirus in salivary glands from patients with Sjögren's syndrome.
AIMS To investigate the possibility of an immune response to retroviral antigens or of detecting retrovirus in Sjögren's syndrome. METHODS Retroviruses were sought in labial salivary glands and peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with Sjögren's syndrome by immunoblotting assay, immunohistochemical assay, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), reverse transcriptase (RT) activity assay, ...
متن کاملAcinar epithelial cell laminin-receptors in labial salivary glands in Sjögren's syndrome.
OBJECTIVE To analyze the epithelial cell-basement membrane attachment, in particular in the secretory end pieces (responsible for secretion of saliva) and in Sjögren's syndrome (SS) characterized by acinar cell failure. METHOD Immunohistochemistry with laminin receptor chain-specific monoclonal antibodies to integrin (Int) subunits, Lutheran blood group antigen and alpha-dystroglycan. RESUL...
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...
