Abstract
Microdissection of biopsy material from labial minor salivary glands followed by RT-PCR demonstrates extensive production of cytokines IL-2, 1L-6, IL-10, TNF-alpha, TGF-beta, and IFN-gamma in both normal glands and in glands affected by Sjögren's syndrome. Continuation of these studies should expand our knowledge of normal salivary gland function and the pathogenesis of Sjögren's syndrome.Entities:
