Viral antigen was also detected in the pancreatic acinar cells and
cortical and medullary cells of the adrenal gland, although less often
than the aforementioned sites. Microscopically, the structure of the salivary glands is similar to
that of the pancreas, with a duct system made up of acinar and duct
cells ensconced in a sheet of myoepithelial cells. In 1994, Baum and his colleagues showed in test-tube experiments that
certain viruses can ferry functioning genes into the two primary cell
types of the salivary glands, the acinar and ductal cells. |
