Abstract excerpt
AIM: It is reported that in salivary glands of Sjögren's syndrome (SS), interferon gamma (IFNγ) and IFNγ-inducible genes containing signal transducers and activators of transcription 1 (STAT1) are upregulated and play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of SS. The aim of this study is to clarify which phosphorylation of STAT1, serine727 (Ser(727)) or tyrosine701 (Tyr(701)) of STAT1, is important for IFNγ signaling...
