Oral microbial homeostasis is a key factor affecting oral health, and saliva plays a significant role in maintaining oral microbial homeostasis. The submandibular gland (SMG) and sublingual gland (SLG) together produce the most saliva at rest. Organic ingredients, including antimicrobial proteins, a...
MyD88 is an important adaptor protein for signal transduction downstream of Toll-like receptors and TACI, receptors for regulation of innate immunity and B cell responses, respectively. The surfaces of oral mucosa are protected from infections by antimicrobial proteins and natural immunoglobulins th...
Series includes pooled (n = 5 mice per biological replicate) samples from submandibular, sublingual, parotid, lacrimal, and meibomian glands of BALB/c mice. Both male and female samples were analyzed on CodeLink Mouse Uniset I Microarrays. Keywords: repeat sample
Prior to the onset of autoimmune destruction, type 1 diabetic patients and an animal model thereof, the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse, show morphological and functional abnormalities in target organs, which may act as inciting events for leukocyte infiltration. To better understand these abnormaliti...
The aim of this study is characterize the gene expression of rat parotid, submandibular and sublingual glands, providing basic information for the salivary marker proteins.
