Xenografts of recombined bovine odontogenic tissues and cultured cells to hypothymic mice.
It was demonstrated in this study that recombined tissues of bovine dental papilla and reduced enamel epithelium, when transplanted to the subcapsular kidney site of hypothymic mice, elaborated tissues resembling osteodentin and dentin matrices with which latter tissues were closely associated cells resembling odontoblasts. In xenografts of cultured cell populations of these tissues, osteodentin-like matrices occurred in the absence of dentin-like matrices.
