Application of rat tail collagen in the culture of cervical-loop epithelial cells in rat lower incisors / 实用口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective: To establish a cell culture model of cervical-loop epithelial cells from Wistar rat lower incisors on culture bottle coated with rat tail collagen. Methods: The effect of self-made rat tail collagen on the culture of cervical-loop epithelial cells was observed. The cells were identified by immunohistochemistry staining. Results: Cervical-loop epithelial cells in Wistar rat lower incisors grew well in self-made rat tail collagen. The cervical-loop epithelial cells exhibited positive expression for integrin-β1 and monoclonal antibody CK in immunohistochemistry staining. Conclusion: The cell culture model of cervical-loop epithelial cells in Wistar rat lower incisors with self-made rat tail collagen can be helpful to research tooth development mechanism.
