Abstract excerpt
Primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune inflammatory disease characterized by focal lymphocytic infiltrates in the lachrymal and salivary glands and autoantibodies against the SSA/Ro and SSB/La antigens. Experimental studies have shown an activation of NF-κB in primary SS. NF-κB activation results in inflammation and autoimmunity and is regulated by inhibitory and activating proteins. Genetic...
