Abstract
TNF-alpha, ICAM1, VCAM1, ELAM, CD44 and DR expression were studied (in direct immunoperoxydase methods) on labial salivary gland sections in 5 patients with proven rheumatoid vasculitis (before and after treatme nt), 5 patients with RA and 5 normal controls. TNF-alpha and cell adhe sion molecules were particularly expressed in vasculitic areas of pati ents with systemic vasculitis and only before the onset of the treatme nt.
