ABSTRACT
Objective:
To develop a simple culture and purifying method for rat dental follicle cells.Methods:
The upper and lower first and second intact molar germs of SD rat were separated. Then, dental follicle and enamel organ were stripped together, minced into little pieces, digested with collagenase and cultured. Dental follicular cells were purified by differential passage and indentified by immunohistochemical staining of vimentin and cytokeratin.Results:
The primary cells were mixed, consisting of dental follicle cells and enamel organ cells. After differential passage, the cells of fourth passage became purified dental follicle cells. Purified dental follicle cells were elongated spindle or triangle in shape, positive for vimentin and negative for cytokeratin.Conclusion:
Dental follicle cells can be purified by several differential passages from the mixed primarily cultured cells.
