Abstract
Primary Sjogren's Syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by infiltration of the exocrine glands leading to secretory insufficiency. Despite the progress made in understanding the pathogenesis of the SS, many aspects remain to be clarified. Interleukin-33 (IL33) is a recently discovered cytokine, belonging to IL-1 superfamily. IL33 and its soluble receptor ST2 were implied in a number of immune and in autoimmune diseases pathogenesis. In this work ,we analyzed expression of IL33 and ST2 in Sjogren's syndrome.File in questo prodotto:
