[Extracellular matrix in gingival fibroblasts].
Primary cultures of human gingival fibroblasts from patients of different age have been established. Histotype characterization has been confirmed by ultrastructural morphology and by the positivity of intermediate filament vimentin. Extracellular matrix expression has been analyzed by immunocitochemistry. Our data demonstrate that the extracellular matrix of human gingival fibroblasts is composed of type IV collagen, other than fibronectin and type I-III collagens.
