Abstract

Antisera were raised in rabbits against the half saturated ammonium sulfate soluble fraction of rat saliva. With these antisera, at least 4 antigens were demonstrated by immunodiffusion in the saliva and in a saline extract of the parotid gland; 3 of these antigens were also found in a saline extract of the submaxillary gland. Two of the 4 antigens were salivary gland specific, the other 2 being shared by the liver, pancreas and testis. The immunofluorescent pattern indicates that these antigens originate from the acinar epithelium of the salivary glands and probably constitute products of secretion and/or cellular turnover.
