S100 protein in oral biology and pathology.
The demonstration of S100 protein is used extensively for both research and diagnostic purposes in oral biology and pathology. This article reviews the structure and putative function of S100, technicalities of S100 immunohistochemistry, the cells of the oral and perioral tissues which express S100 and the possible significance of S100 expression in disease.
