Analysis of VH-D-JH gene transcripts in B cells infiltrating the salivary glands and lymph node tissues of patients with Sj�gren's syndrome
1 Feb 1999
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: In patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SS), B lymphocytes have been found to infiltrate salivary glands, resulting in sialadenitis and keratoconjunctivitis. The disease is frequently associated with benign and neoplastic lymphoproliferation. The present study was undertaken to investigate whether clonal B cell expansion takes place in lymphocytic infiltrations of salivary glands under (auto- [?]) antigen...
