Abstract excerpt
A major obstacle in studying the physiological and biochemical processes of salivary secretion is the lack of a good ductal cell line model. HSY, an immortalised cell line originating from human parotid gland intercalated ducts, provides a possible model for purinergic mechanisms in ductal cells. Unlike the biphasic dose response to ATP of isolated submandibular ductal cells, the rise in [Ca2+]i in HSY cells...
