| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Antimicrobial factors produced from the salivary glands play an important role in maintaining homeostasis of the oral cavity. However, on the other hand, the mechanism of production of antimicrobial factors by salivary glands is not currently understood. Although salivary glands despite not subject to direct exposure of oral bacteria, what mechanisms is involved in production of antibacterial factors. In this study, the effects of oral bacteria on production of antibacterial factors by the salivary glands are investigated.
