An investigation of S-100 protein in embryonic dental papillae of rats.
We attempted to identify S-100 protein, a marker of neural crest tissue, within cells of the developing dental papillae of 18-day rat fetuses by means of the immunoperoxidase technique. Although there is experimental evidence that dental papillae are derived from neural crest, no marker protein was identified in this study.
