[HLA antigens in patients with Sjögren's syndrome]. 1988

H M Moutsopoulos, and C A Papasteriades, and F N Skopouli, and A A Drosos

HLA-antigens were studied in 116 Greek patients: 22 with pSS, 14 with sSS and RA, 26 with classical RA and 420 healthy controls. A statistically significant increase in HLA-DR5 was observed mainly in pSS patients with anti-Ro (SSA). A significant increase in HLA-B8, HLA-DR3 and HLA-DR5 was observed in pSS patients with anti-La (SSB) antibodies as compared to the controls.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D006680	HLA Antigens	Antigens determined by leukocyte loci found on chromosome 6, the major histocompatibility loci in humans. They are polypeptides or glycoproteins found on most nucleated cells and platelets, determine tissue types for transplantation, and are associated with certain diseases.

D006684	HLA-DR Antigens	A subclass of HLA-D antigens that consist of alpha and beta chains. The inheritance of HLA-DR antigens differs from that of the HLA-DQ ANTIGENS and HLA-DP ANTIGENS.	HLA-DR,Antigens, HLA-DR,HLA DR Antigens

D000097585	SS-B Antigen	Nuclear autoantigens implicated in nascent RNA protection. It is a target of AUTOANTIBODIES in patients with SJOGREN'S SYNDROME.	LA Antigen,La(SSB) Antigen,Lupus Antigen La,SS-B La Antigen,Sjogren's Syndrome-B Antigen,SS B Antigen
D000974	Antibodies, Antinuclear	Autoantibodies directed against various nuclear antigens including DNA, RNA, histones, acidic nuclear proteins, or complexes of these molecular elements. Antinuclear antibodies are found in systemic autoimmune diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren's syndrome, scleroderma, polymyositis, and mixed connective tissue disease.

D012261	Ribonucleoproteins	Complexes of RNA-binding proteins with ribonucleic acids (RNA).	Ribonucleoprotein
D012859	Sjogren's Syndrome	Chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disease in which the salivary and lacrimal glands undergo progressive destruction by lymphocytes and plasma cells resulting in decreased production of saliva and tears. The primary form, often called sicca syndrome, involves both KERATOCONJUNCTIVITIS SICCA and XEROSTOMIA. The secondary form includes, in addition, the presence of a connective tissue disease, usually rheumatoid arthritis.
