odontogenic cysts/carbohydrate

This study was designed to confirm the report by Vedtofte and coworkers that the epithelium of ameloblastomas can be distinguished from that of nonneoplastic odontogenic cysts by differences in expressivity of cell surface carbohydrates with blood group specificity. Immunoperoxidase techniques were

The cell membrane carbohydrate components of 10 simple (follicular and/or plexiform pattern) and 5 acanthomatous ameloblastomas, one plexiform unicystic ameloblastoma, one soft tissue ameloblastoma and 11 odontogenic keratocysts were studied in paraffin-embedded tissues using horseradish

The distribution of epithelial cell surface antigens was studied in normal odontogenic epithelium from 20 fetuses and in odontogenic epithelium from 15 ameloblastomas, 16 odontogenic keratocysts, 15 follicular and 15 radicular cysts. The cell surface carbohydrates were detected using antibodies with

This study describes the distribution of type 1 and type 2 blood group carbohydrate chains in human normal and pathological odontogenic epithelia and in epithelia of human oral mucosa. Odontogenic epithelium was examined from 12 fetal tooth germs, 25 ameloblastomas, 13 odontogenic keratocysts, 13
