Continuous in vitro measurement of mouse salivary gland enzymes.
A perifusion chamber technique is described that permits continuous measurement of the in vitro release of salivary enzymes from slices of mouse salivary glands responding to various stimuli. Kinetics of amylase secretion differed from those of esterase, which suggests that the secretory processes differ for these two enzymes.
