Purpose:
To develop submandibular gland acellular matrix and observe its structure and analyze its histological ingredients.
Methods:
The fresh submandibular glands of SD mice were cell-extracted by chemical detergent and histological ingredients were analyzed by immunohistochemistry.
Results:
Submandibular gland cells disappeared, matrix ingredients appeared network structure under microscopy. I, II and III type collagen proteins of submandibular gland before and after cell-extracted were positive under immunohistochemistry.
Conclusions:
The main ingredients of submandibular gland acellular matrix were I, II and III type collagen proteins.
