Regulation of Lacrimal Gland Immune Responses
The purpose of this review is: (1) to consider the relationship of the lacrimal gland to the mucosal network and general factors regulating lacrimal gland immune responses, (2) to present current data from sel...

Optimising the expression of antibody in tears: manipulation of the common mucosal immune response?
The IgA in rat tears (200ug/ml) is supplied almost entirely by plasma cells in the lachrymal gland. We researched methods to elicit IgA responses in tears, with the aim of optimising vaccination protocols. Ser...

Characterisation of the lymphocyte-glandular mucosal tissue interaction using an in vitro adherence assay
The in vitro adherence of lymphocytes to lacrimal gland (LG) tissue was compared to high endothelial venules (HEV) of cervical lymph node (CLN) tissue. Thoracic duct (TDL) and mesenteric lymph node (MLN) lymphocy...

Characterization and Mitogenic Responsiveness of Murine Mammary Gland Mononuclear Cells
Lymphocyte traffic from subcompartments of intestinal mucosal associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) to mammary (1), salivary (2) and lacrimal (3) glands is a characteristic feature of the mucosal network. With res...

The Induction and Characterization of Secretory IgA Antibodies
In addition to humoral immunity, which is characterized by the presence of circulating antibody, a second distinct type of immunity involves the localized production of secretory antibodies (reviews 1,2,3). Nu...
