title: [Expression of CIC-5 in rat tooth germ development].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To determine the expression and possible function of CIC-5 during the rat tooth germ development.
  
  
  METHODS
  Isolated total mRNA and protein from the rat tooth germs which were at different stages of development. RT-PCR and Western blot were used to investigate the mRNA and protein expression of the CIC-5 in the rat tooth germ.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The mRNA and protein of CIC-5 expressed in the late bell stage, but undetected inThe mRNA and protein of CIC-5 expressed in the late bell stage, but undetected in the early or middle bell stage.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  These results showed the spatial temporal distribution of expression of CIC-5 during the different stages of the rat tooth germ development and suggested that it might contribute to the rat tooth germ development.
