Immunoglobulin-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 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 کاملDetection 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 کاملAcinar epithelial cell laminin-receptors in labial salivary glands in Sjögren's syndrome.
OBJECTIVE To analyze the epithelial cell-basement membrane attachment, in particular in the secretory end pieces (responsible for secretion of saliva) and in Sjögren's syndrome (SS) characterized by acinar cell failure. METHOD Immunohistochemistry with laminin receptor chain-specific monoclonal antibodies to integrin (Int) subunits, Lutheran blood group antigen and alpha-dystroglycan. RESUL...
متن کاملInteractions between developing nerves and salivary glands
Our aim is to provide a summary of the field of salivary gland development and regeneration from the perspective of what is known about the function of nerves during these processes. The primary function of adult salivary glands is to produce and secrete saliva. Neuronal control of adult salivary gland function has been a focus of research ever since Pavlov's seminal experiments on salivation i...
