Abstract excerpt
The presence of three functionally and phenotypically distinct epithelial cell populations--acinar, duct, and myoepithelial cells--in major salivary glands creates problems when developing physiologically appropriate culture systems for the study of these tissues in vitro. Previous attempts to establish cultures of rat submandibular gland resulted in continued proliferation and maintenance of glandular...
