Abstract excerpt
The localization of the integrin subunits alpha 2, alpha 5, alpha 6 was studied immunohistochemically in samples of normal salivary gland and in a series of 8 pleomorphic adenomas, 5 Warthin's tumors, and 2 basal cell adenomas. In normal salivary tissue, acinar and ductal cells expressed alpha 2 and alpha 6 chains at the basal cell pole facing the basement membrane. alpha 2 also localized at sites of cell-cell...
