Lymphocytic Profile and Ebv Serology in Sjögren’s Syndrome: Evidences for a Virally Triggered Autoimmune Epithelitis?
2020-11-25
Abstract excerpt
Sjögren's Syndrome (SjS) is characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine glands, i.e. autoimmune epithelitis. Lymphocytes are central in SjS pathogenesis, with B-cell hyperactivity mediated by T-cells. B-cells are main targets of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, a frequently-suggested trigger for SjS.We aimed to evaluate how the EBV infection modulates B and T-cell subsets in SjS, including as controls...
