title: [Assay of contents of lysozyme, SIgA, IgA and IgG in tongue coating].
abstract: The contents of lysozyme, SIgA, IgA, and IgG in 98 cases with pathological tongue coating and 30 cases of normal coating were analysed by using the thorough random analysis of variance. The results showed that the content of lysozyme in pathological coating was lower than that in normals significantly (P < 0.0001), while the contents of SIgA, IgG in pathological coating were higher than that of normals (P < 0.0001). It indicates that immune reaction is very active during the development of pathological tongue coating.
