Tissue distribution of lysozyme in man
M Klockars and S Reitamo
The distribution of lysozyme (LZM) in normal human tissues was determined with the use of the immunoglobulin-enzyme (peroxidase) bridge method. LZM was detected in the following cells and tissues: secretory cells of the lacrimal gland, ductal epithelial cells of the parotid gland and the serous parts of the mixed sublingual glands, the esophageal submucosal glands, bronchial serous submucosal glands, gastric and pyloric glands, Brunner's glands of the duodenum, the Paneth cells of the small intestine, Kupffer cells of the liver and renal proximal tubular cells. In addition, LZM was also found in the mononuclear or polymorphonuclear cells of the placenta, lung, lamina propria of the small intestine, lymph nodes and spleen. This distribution of LZM is discussed in relation to its possible physiologic role in human tissues and particularly to its known antibacterial properties.
