| SALIVARY GLAND IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY |
 | | In salivary gland ducts it is possible to distinguish the two major cell types since the basal and luminal cells express different cytokeratin phenotypes (Franke et al., 1980). |
 | | Salivary gland tissue samples from the molar, palatine, parotid, sublingual and submandibular glands, were removed during the course of post-mortem examination from three cotton-top tamarins. |
 | | In most cotton-top tamarin glands, staining of basally-oriented myoepithelium was discontinuous which, as in human (Gugliotta et al., 1988, Draeger et al., 1991) and dogs (Vos et al., 1992), may reflect variation in the intensity of the myoepithelial cell network, or degrees of differentiation, of myoepithelial cells. |
