title: Keratins as markers in odontogenesis--an immunocytochemical experimental study in rats.
abstract: The expression and distribution of keratins within different layers of enamel organs of embryonic and neonatal rats studied by using indirect immunoperoxidase and immunofluorescent techniques in paraffin-embedded tissues employing specific antibodies revealed Keratin positivity in odontoblastic layer, oral epithelium and dental lamina in primitive stages; other odontogenic tissues showed negative reaction.
