title: Immunoperoxidase localization of fibronectin during odontoblast differentiation. An ultrastructural study.
abstract: Immunoperoxidase labeling of fibronectin in one-day-old mouse first lower molars allowed to visualize a striking redistribution of this glycoprotein during terminal cytodifferentiation of odontoblasts. The modifications involved both extracellular and cell surface localizations. The possible roles of these modifications in terminal differentiation of odontoblasts are discussed.
