Toll-like receptors 2 and 4, and bacterial proteins in IgG4-related sialadenitis, other types of chronic sialadenitis and sialolithiasis Open
A stronger TLR2 or TLR4 expression in IgG4-positive sialadenitis may indicate a tissue-related factor underlying this form of chronic sialadenitis. LPS- and P. gingivalis immunopositivity remained weak throughout this series. Thus, gram-ne…

Viral DNA in submandibular gland tissue with an inflammatory disorder Open
None of the studied viruses are implicated as triggering IgG4-overexpression in CS. Although our results do not confirm viral etiology in the examined conditions, they provide valuable information on the prevalence of viruses in both disea…
