Expression of neural marker proteins in cultured dental pulp cells (DPCs).
| DPC-S (%) | DPC-FS (%) | P | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sox2 | 98.8 ± 0.5 | 97.4 ± 0.5 | 0.15 |
| Tuj1 | 42.9 ± 2.8 | 38.4 ± 1.4 | 0.17 |
| GFAP | 98.1 ± 0.2 | 97.7 ± 0.2 | 0.75 |
| MBP | 98.5 ± 0.2 | 96.8 ± 0.5 | 0.14 |
| GFP | 99.7 ± 0.2 | 99.9 ± 0.1 | 0.35 |
The percentages of cells positive for individual neural markers or GFP were evaluated with respect to the total number of cells. The values are expressed as the mean ± SE. Significant differences between the two groups were determined by Student’s t-test (n = 4).
