Effects of BMP4 on nestin up-regulation in human dental pulp explants. The explants were cultured for 24 hours. Whole mount immunostaining using the anti-nestin antiserum is shown. A–C: Beads soaked in 100 μg/ml of BMP4 were placed on top of 17-year-old dental pulp explants and then were cultured together. Nestin immunoreactivity is found in the pulpal cells surrounding the BMP4 beads. D and E: The BSA bead does not induce nestin expression in pulp cells. b, bead; p, pulp. Scale bars, 500 μm (A), 200 μm (B, C, and E), and 600 μm (D).
