Genetics of Salivary Protein Polymorphisms [PDF]
Critical Reviews in Oral Biology & Medicine, 1993 Human salivary PRPs are determined by six closely linked genes on chromosome 12pl3.2. The many PRPs show complex electrophoretic patterns that differ between individuals and reflect numerous genetic polymorphisms. Frequent length and null polymorphisms are common among PRPs. Common themes emerge as a background for these PRP polymorphisms.

Analysis of salivary transcripts and antigens of the sand fly
BMC Genomics, 2009 Background Sand fly saliva plays an important role in blood feeding and Leishmania transmission as it was shown to increase parasite virulence. On the other hand, immunity to salivary components impedes the establishment of infection.

Primary culture of Rhodnius prolixus (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) salivary gland cells
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2010 In the present paper, we developed a primary culture of Rhodnius prolixus salivary gland and main salivary canal cells. Cells remained viable in culture for 30 days.

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2019 The brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens (Stål), is a phloem sap-feeding insect. During feeding on rice plants, BPH secretes salivary proteins with potential effector functions, which may play a critical role in the plant-insect interactions ...

The function of salivary proteins and the regulation of their secretion by salivary glands
Biomedical Reviews, 1998 Salivary glycoproteins give saliva its characteristic physical properties and enable it to form a thin film over hard and soft tissues in the mouth. Oral health and homeostasis are dependent upon the functions performed by the salivary film and most of these functions, including lubrication, barrier function and microbial interactions, are in turn ...

Bitter-Induced Salivary Proteins Increase Detection Threshold of Quinine, But Not Sucrose.
Chemical Sensors, 2019 Exposures to dietary tannic acid (TA, 3%) and quinine (0.375%) upregulate partially overlapping sets of salivary proteins which are concurrent with changes in taste-driven behaviors, such as rate of feeding and brief access licking to quinine.

Immunity to distinct sand fly salivary proteins primes the anti-Leishmania immune response towards protection or exacerbation of disease. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2008 Leishmania parasites are transmitted in the presence of sand fly saliva. Together with the parasite, the sand fly injects biologically active salivary components that favorably change the environment at the feeding site.
