Immunohistochemical detection of S-100 protein in human deciduous dental pulp.
S-100 protein was investigated in the temporary dental pulp by the immunoperoxidase technique, using the avidin-biotin complex method. The results showed that there was a strong positive reaction in the Schwann cells ensheathing axons and nerve fibers. The other cells within the pulp were immuno-negative. S-100 protein and the results of the present study are discussed.
