The existence and distribution of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), and Met-enkephalin pentapeptide were investigated by means of the peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) technique in rabbit submandibular and sublingual glands. In the submandibular gland, VIP immunostaining was observed in some peripheral acinar cells, while in sublingual one VIP positive fibres surrounded semilunes. Ductal cells of both glands were also reactive. These findings suggested a role of VIP in regulating volume and composition of salivary secretion.
采用过氧化物酶抗过氧化物酶（PAP）技术，对兔下颌下腺和舌下腺中血管活性肠肽（VIP）和甲硫氨酸脑啡肽五肽的存在与分布进行了研究。在下颌下腺中，在一些外周腺泡细胞中观察到VIP免疫染色，而在舌下腺中，VIP阳性纤维围绕半月形结构。两个腺体的导管细胞也呈阳性反应。这些发现提示VIP在调节唾液分泌的量和成分方面发挥作用。
