"[Using reverse transcriptase and a quantitative PCR to measure cytokine mRNA, we found Sj�gren's syndrome: 1) salivary gland CD4+ T cells produce over 40-fold more IL-2, IFN-gamma, and IL-10 mRNA than peripheral blood CD4+ T cells from the same patient or from normal controls; 2) salivary gland CD4+ T cells produced little IL-4 and IL-5 mRNA immediately after elution from the salivary gland, although these mRNAs could be induced by mitogen stimulation of Sj�gren's syndrome salivary gland lymphocytes in vitro; 3) salivary gland epithelial cells produced over 40-fold more IL-1 alpha, IL-6, and TNF-alpha mRNA than epithelial cells from individuals with histologically normal salivary glands.].
