Detection of AA-type amyloid protein in labial salivary glands.
OBJECTIVES Among the diverse forms of amyloidosis, secondary type is the most frequent one. Diagnosis of amyloid deposition is based on the identification of the fibrillary protein amyloid by means of Congo Red (CR) or crystal violet (CV) stains, but these techniques do not differentiate between the different types of amyloid fibrils. The aim of this study was to identify by immunofluorescence ...
متن کاملObservations of Nerve Terminals in Human Labial Salivary Glands
The existence of a motor innervation to the secretory and myoepithelial elements of salivary glands has been supported amply by physiological and pharmacological studies extending over a century (reviewed in Babkin, 1950 ; Emmelin, 1967) . However, the exact morphological nature of this innervation at the acinar level is less well established, and has been the subject of several conflicting rep...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin-containing cells in normal human labial salivary glands.
The distribution of immunoglobulin-containing cells within 8 normal human labial salivary glands was studied using an immunoperoxidase technique. Cell counts revealed that IgA-containing cells pre-dominated in all specimens and that the mean percentage class ratios for IgG:IgA:IgM:IgD cells were 4:92:3:1. IgE cells were rare and only detected in one gland. The density of IgA cells (191 cells/mm...
متن کاملMR imaging of labial glands.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The labial salivary gland is a site of occurrence of tumors and cysts, and it serves as the biopsy site for the diagnosis of Sjögren syndrome. However, its imaging features have not been well understood. Here we attempted to depict the labial gland by high-resolution MR imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS The labial glands from 89 patients without Sjögren syndrome, 14 patien...
متن کاملUltrastructural localization of salivary mucins MUC5B and MUC7 in human labial glands.
As a result of their presence throughout the mouth in the submucosa or between muscle fibers, minor salivary glands secrete directly and continuously into the oral cavity, providing mucosal surfaces with highly glycosylated proteins that are active in bacterial aggregation and in oral tissue lubrication. In this study, we investigated the ultrastructural localization of the MUC5B and MUC7 mucin...
