Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Data concerning the immunogenetic characteristics of primary Sjogren's syndrome (SS) in Latin-Americans are scarce. A research project centered on primary SS in Colombians was initiated in January 1996 to better define these characteristics. METHODS: TAP, HLA, IL-10, and microsatellites on 6p21.3 genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction techniques. Immunohistochemistry for Bcl-2...
