  • Title: Histochemical localization of hyaluronan and versican in the rat molar dental pulp.
    Author: Shibata S, Kaneko S, Yanagishita M, Yamashita Y.
    Journal: Arch Oral Biol; 1999 Apr; 44(4):373-6. PubMed ID: 10348364.
    Abstract:
    The distribution of hyaluronan and versican in the dental pulp of the young rat was mapped histochemically. The pattern of staining showed considerable variation between different teeth and different specimens. The most common pattern was a strong reaction for hyaluronan and a weak reaction for versican in the subodontoblastic region, with the reverse deeper in the pulp. This was not an entirely consistent pattern and there was considerable regional variation in the staining intensity for both molecules. The localization of these molecules at similar sites could thus indicate related roles in the connective tissue matrix rather than any chemical bonding between them.
