Figure 1From: Efficient IL-18 and IL-18BPc adenoviral gene transfer to cultured murine submandibular gland epithelial cells and successful murine retrograde submandibular duct cannulation to modulate IL-18 function in the salivary gland of animal models of Sjogren's syndrome(a) Expression of murine IL-18 in salivary gland ductal epithelial cells (SG-DEC) transfected with IL-18AdV but not with LacZAdV (b). (c) Beta-galactosidase staining confirmed effective transfection of SG-DEC by LacZAdV.Back to article page
