title: Peroxidase activity and thiocyanate accumulation in salivary glands.
abstract: Salivary glands with high, low, or no peroxidase activity do not differ in [S14CN-] after the i.v. injection of KS14CN, nor do the glands differ from blood and muscle in [S14CN-]. The content of SCN- in a salivary gland does not mirror the gland's participation in the peroxidase-mediated antimicrobial mechanism.
