Summary

A series of 87 salivary glands was examined using an immunogold-silver technique for salivary gland amylase (SGA) and epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) and an indirect immunoperoxidase technique for both antigens. The specimens comprised 21 pleomorphic adednomas, 3 monomorphic adenomas, 25 adenolymphomas, 5 mucoepidermoid carcinomas, 3 acinic cell tumours, 8 adenoid cystic carcinomas, 2 adenocarcinomas and 8 undifferentiated carcinomas. In addition 5 normal salivary glands and 6 salivary glands showing benign lymphoepithelial lesions were included.
