Protein content in rabbit periodontal ligament fibroblasts during growth in culture.
The protein content of an individual periodontal ligament fibroblast decreases with increasing cell density during growth in culture. A mean total protein concentration of 3.3 +/- 0.4 micrograms per 10(3) cells was calculated. This reference value can be used in studies evaluating enzyme activities, transport rates or metabolic functions.
