title: [Is the expression of TNF-alpha and cell adhesion molecules a marker of development of rheumatoid vasculitis?].
abstract: TNF-alpha, ICAM1, VCAM1, ELAM, CD44 and DR expression were studied (indirect immunoperoxydase methods) on labial salivary gland sections in 5 patients with proven rheumatoid vasculitis (before and after treatment), 5 patients with RA and 5 normal controls. TNF-alpha and cell adhesion molecules were particularly expressed in vasculitic areas of patients with systemic vasculitis and only before the onset of the treatment.
