The expression of APRIL in Sjogren’s syndrome: aberrant expression of APRIL in the salivary gland
Rheumatology, 05/07/2012
Vosters JL et al. – A proliferation–inducing ligand (APRIL) salivary gland tissue levels are decreased, suggesting that targeting this cytokine locally in the salivary glands would not benefit SS patients. Moreover, the discrepancy between local and systemic levels is striking and future research should assess this in more detail.
