  1. pSS = primary Sjögren's syndrome. Total RNAs were extracted from monocytes prepared as described in the Table 2 footnote, and the expression levels of NF-IL6, NF-IL6β, NF-κB1 and NF-κB2 were quantitated. The relative expression levels of the genes are indicated. Data represent means ± SEM. Asterisk denotes statistically significant difference between "Normal" and "pSS." *P < 0.05 and ***P < 0.001.
