Ly9 Activation Reduced Potential Damage to Salivary Glands and Kidneys in Mouse Model of Sjögren’s Syndrome
Activating the immune receptor Ly9 significantly reduces the infiltration of immune cells into the salivary glands and kidneys of mice with Sjögren’s syndrome-like disease, without compromising their general immune system — making it a potential therapeutic target for the chronic condition, a study finds. The study, “Ly9 (CD229)…
