ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the distribution of the neuropeptides in mouse sublingual gland. Method Using immunohistochemical ABC method. Results The striated duct cells in the sublingual gland showed somatostatin and calcitonin gene related peptide immunoreactivity positive which were in the cytoplasma, but the nucleus negative.Conclusion The striated duct cells in mouse sublingual gland also contained neuropetides; which may play an important role in regulating acinar secretion and blood supply.
