Figure 3From: B cell-activating factor of the tumor necrosis factor family (BAFF) is expressed under stimulation by interferon in salivary gland epithelial cells in primary Sjögren's syndromeInduction of BAFF mRNA by epithelial cells from minor salivary glands. Results are from seven patients with pSS and from seven controls, 48 hours after stimulation with IL-10 (100 ng/ml), IFN-α (2,400 U/ml), IFN-γ (5 ng/ml), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α (1 ng/ml) and IFN-γ (5 ng/ml) + TNF-α (1 ng/ml). All samples were processed in duplicate. Error bars indicate SEM. BAFF, B cell-activating factor.Back to article page
