Cell adhesion molecules in normal salivary gland tissue. a Desmoglein-2 (Dsg-2): Linear membranous staining of acinar and ductal cells. b Beta4-integrin: Strong immunoreactivity of basolateral portion of serous cell membrane and basal cells of interlobular ducts. c HCAM (CD44s): Strong membranous staining of acinar cells (mainly serous), decreased expression in basolateral surfaces of ductal basal cells and partially in stromal non-epithelial cell subpopulations. d ICAM-1: Negative staining of epithelial cells. Membranous staining of non-epithelial stromal subpopulations such as endothelium, lymphocytes and fibroblasts
