The excretory duct of the lacrimal gland of rabbits and guinea pigs was cannulated in situ for collection of pure lacrimal gland fluid, not contaminated by secretions from the Harderian gland or contributions of desquamating cells of the conjunctival and corneal epithelium. Tears as well as lacrimal gland fluid of both species showed a species-specific and molecular weight-dependent pattern after sodium dodecylsulphate-polyacrylamide (SDS-PAA) gradient slab gel electrophoresis. The most striking difference in both species was a protein corresponding to serum albumin present in tears and almost lacking in lacrimal gland fluid. Likewise, a variety of enzymes, total protein and PGE2 were measured in tears and lacrimal gland fluid. For rabbit tears the lacrimal gland is the primary tissue source of lysozyme (LZM), beta-hexosaminidase (beta-hex), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), plasminogen activator (PA) and total protein, while lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and the greater part of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) are present in rabbit tears mainly as products from other ocular tissue sources. In guinea pig tears peroxidase (POD), ACE, PA and less PGE2 are exceted by the lacrimal gland, amylase (AMY), LDH and a substantial amount of PGE2 are added to the guinea pig tears by other ocular tissue sources. Beta-hex and total protein are released from the lacrimal gland and from other ocular tissue sources as well.
