Journal ArticleDOI
Th2 and regulatory immune reactions contribute to IgG4 production and the initiation of Mikulicz disease
Akihiko Tanaka,Masafumi Moriyama,Hitoshi Nakashima,Katsuhisa Miyake,Jun Nosuke Hayashida,Takashi Maehara,Shouichi Shinozaki,Yoshiaki Kubo,Seiji Nakamura +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the pathogenesis of Mikulicz disease is different from that of SS, a unique inflammatory disorder characterized by Th2 and regulatory immune reactions that might play key roles in IgG4 production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interleukin-21 contributes to germinal centre formation and immunoglobulin G4 production in IgG4-related dacryoadenitis and sialoadenitis, so-called Mikulicz's disease
Takashi Maehara,Masafumi Moriyama,Hitoshi Nakashima,Katsuhisa Miyake,Jun Nosuke Hayashida,Akihiko Tanaka,Shouichi Shinozaki,Yoshiaki Kubo,Seiji Nakamura +8 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that overexpression of IL-21 by Th2 cells might play a key role in GC formation and IgG4 production in IgG 4-DS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective localization of T helper subsets in labial salivary glands from primary Sjögren's syndrome patients
Takashi Maehara,Masafumi Moriyama,Jun Nosuke Hayashida,Akihiko Tanaka,Shouichi Shinozaki,Yoshiaki Kubo,K. Matsumura,Seiji Nakamura +7 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that SS has selective localization of Th subsets such as Th1, Th2, Th17 and Tfh in the LSGs, which is associated closely with disease severity and/or status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical characteristics of Mikulicz's disease as an IgG4-related disease
Masafumi Moriyama,Akihiko Tanaka,Takashi Maehara,Yukiko Ohyama,Mayumi Shimizu,Hitoshi Nakashima,Jun Nosuke Hayashida,Shoichi Shinozaki,Yoshiaki Kubo,Sachiko Furukawa,Toshihiro Kikuta,Seiji Nakamura +11 more
TL;DR: These results suggested that the pathogenesis of MD might be different from those of SS, and reduced IgG and IgG4 levels and improved salivary function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Syntheses OF 15α- and 15β-carboxymethyltestosterone bovine serum albumin conjugates: Characteristics of the antisera to testosterone☆
TL;DR: The antisera, generated in rabbits by immunization with the bovine serum albumin (BSA) conjugates of 15α- and 15β-CMT, respectively, exhibited high specificity for testosterone.
