Abstract
Human labial and palatine gland secretion was collected by aspiration after pilocarpine stimulation. In both secretions, blood group antigens and virus-haemagglutination inhibition activity were found in high concentrations, alpha-amylase in low concentration and kallikrein as traces. Lysozyme activity was detectable only in the labial secretion. The biological activities present indicated that proteins of the minor salivary gland secretions may participate in the formation of the acquired dental pellicle.
