Expression of RNase 7 in different areas of the salivary gland

Tissue types	Location	Grading
​Major salivary gland
​ Parotid gland	​aserous cells	​± ~ + (weakly positive ~ positive)
	​aduct cells	​± (weakly positive)
	​asebaceous gland	​+ ~ ++ (positive ~ strongly positive)
​ Sublingual gland	​bduct cells	​± (weakly positive)
​Minor salivary gland
​ Labial gland	​cserous demilune	​± ~ + (weakly positive ~ positive)
	​cduct cells	​± (weakly positive)

a: In parotid gland, 5/5 cases demonstrated positive staining in serous and duct cells. Sebaceous gland present in parotid gland was strongly positive.

b: 4/5 cases of sublingual gland showed weak intensity of staining in duct cells.

c: 5/5 cases of minor salivary gland demonstrated positive staining in serous demilune and weakly positive staining in ductal cells of labial gland.
