Abstract

Parotid saliva of patients with Sjögren's syndrome was subjected to disc electrophoresis. The protein distribution in the saliva of the patients with Sjögren's syndrome was compared with the protein distribution in the saliva of a control group. More anode-migrating protein was found in the patients with Sjögren's syndrome, as well as less amylase, and these differences were possibly significant. There was no difference in the content of protein remaining near the cathode in the salivas of the two groups. Samples of parotid saliva from a group of patients with Sjögren's syndrome and from a control group were subjected to radial quantitative immunodiffusion. There was no significant difference in the amount of IgG, IgA, and IgM in the two groups.
