    Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

    Abstract

    We describe vessels within the lymphocytic infiltrate of the salivary glands in Sjögren's syndrome that are identical to those specialized for lymphocyte transport in lymph nodes. These vessels may represent a mechanism for increased lymphocyte traffic into the gland and thereby contribute significantly to the inflammatory process.
