La ghiandola lacrimale (LG) ha due tipi di cellule che esprimono α-liscio muscolo actina (αSMA): cellule miepiteliali (MECs) e pericytes. I MECs sono di origine ectodermica, trovati in molti tessuti ghiandolari, mentre i periciti sono cellule muscolari lisce vascolari di origine endodermica. Questo protocollo isola i MECs e i periciti di murine LGs.
