Experimental allergic sialoadenitis. X. Chronic destructive parotitis induced in immunized rats by daily intraductal
Journal of Oral Pathology
|March 1, 1977
Abstract:
The right parotid duct of rats was instilled five to eight times with bovine serum albumin at daily intervals. Acute parotitis developed in non-sensitized animals, while chronic destructive sialoadenitis ensued in preimmunized rats. The morphological changes were reminiscent of those found in the salivary glands of patients with Sjögren's syndrome.
