Figure 5.

In situ hybridization for osteopontin (OPN) mRNA (A–C, E) and nestin immunoreactivity (D, F) in the transplanted teeth at 1 (A), 3 (B), 5 (C, D), and 7 (E, F) days after operation. D, dentin; PC, pulp chamber. (A) OPN mRNA-expressing cells are scattered throughout the pulp chamber. (B, C, E) OPN mRNA-expressing cells are recognized at the pulp-dentin border. (D, F) The newly differentiated odontoblast-like cells in the pulp horn show intense immunoreactivity for nestin in their cytoplasm. Bars: C–F = 100 µm; A, B = 50 µm.
