M. IRWIN 1 and A. G. LEAVER 1

1 Medical Research Council Department, University of Otago Dental School, Dunedin, New Zealand

1. Methods for the collection of saliva and the precipitation of mucin from it are described and discussed.

2. The claim that cholesterol is an integral component of human salivary mucin was examined by experimental methods, including the original technic of Kazakova.

3. It is concluded that the mucin precipitated by us, from saliva collected as described, contains no cholesterol capable of being identified by the usual chemical means.
