Salivary gland tissue expression of interleukin‐23 and interleukin‐17 in Sjögren's syndrome: Findings in humans and mice

Abstract

These results suggest that the Th17/IL-23 system is up-regulated in C57BL/6.NOD-Aec1Aec2 mice and SS patients at the time of disease. A correlation between up-regulated IL-17/IL-23 expression and specific clinical manifestations of SS has yet to be identified.
