Abstrakt: STRO-1 is a specific marker of mesenchymal stem cells, but the tissue localization of STRO-1 in developing teeth is not clear. The present study was designed to investigate the immunohistological localization of STRO-1 in developing and erupting rat molars. STRO-1 antigens were found in odontoblasts, dental pulp cells, periodontal ligament cells, cementblasts, periodontal osteoblasts, and blood vessels. The STRO-1 may be involved in hard tissue formation of dentin and alveolar bone. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
