    Notes: Abstract The distribution of albumin throughout enamel development in the rat mandibular incisor was investigated using sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS PAGE) and Western blotting employing an anti-rat albumin antibody. Intact albumin was detectable at all stages of enamel development but was most evident during late secretion/transition. Its concentration was subsequently reduced during the maturation stage. Albumin degradation products appeared during the transition/early maturation stage indicating that albumin breakdown preceded its removal. As albumin inhibits apatite crystal growth, its degradation and removal may be a necessary prerequisite for normal enamel crystal growth, perhaps reflecting a general mechanism for removal of residual endogenous matrix or adventitious crystal growth inhibitors. Additional studies revealed that the maturation stage was particularly susceptible to albumin influx postmortem. Albumin could therefore form part of the natural crystal growth control process, which, if not removed, could hamper maturation and lead to white spot hypoplasias.

    Notes: Abstract A mouse cDNA encoding a 180 amino acid amelogenin was subcloned into the pET expression plasmid (Novagen, Madison, WI) for production in Escherichia coli. A simple growth and purification protocol yields 20–50 mg of 95–99% pure recombinant amelogenin from a 4.5-liter culture. This is the first heterologous expression of an enamel protein. The expressed protein was characterized by partial Edman sequencing, amino acid composition analysis, SDS-PAGE, Western blotting, laser desorption mass spectrometry, and hydroxyapatite binding. The recombinant amelogenin is 179 amino acids in length, has a molecular weight of 20,162 daltons, and hydroxyapatite binding properties similar to the porcine 173 residue amelogenin. Solubility analyses showed that the bacterially expressed protein is only sparingly soluble in the pH range of 6.4–8.0 or in solutions 20% saturated with ammonium sulfate. The purified protein was used to generate rabbit polyclonal anti-amelogenin antibodies which show specific reaction to amelogenins in both Western blot analyses of enamel extracts and in immunostaining of developing mouse molars.

    Notes: Abstract A heterogeneous mixture of amelogenins can be extracted from developing tooth enamel matrix. In an attempt to discover the extent to which alternative splicing of the amelogenin primary RNA transcript can generate unique isoforms, we have conducted a thorough search for cDNAs amplified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Over 2400 colonies were screened by colony hybridization. Seven different alternatively spliced amelogenin mRNAs were isolated. The predicted translation products of the messages are 194, 180, 156, 141, 74, 59, and 44 amino acids in length. RT-PCR amplification products not predicted by these seven amelogenin cDNAs were characterized. The intron separating exons 5 and 6 was cloned and sequenced. Using rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) techniques, the 5′ ends of the amelogenin mRNAs were cloned and characterized. The finding that the same exon 1 is common to all of the cloned mRNAs indicates that mouse amelogenin is transcribed from a single promoter. The mouse amelogenin transcription and translation initiation sites, the 5′ untranslated leader, and the segment encoding the signal peptide were determined. The distinctly nonamelogenin-like exon 4, first observed in human amelogenin cDNAs, has also been found in mice. Antibodies were raised to synthetic exon 4-encoded polypeptides and used to immunostain Western transfers and histologic tooth sections.

    Notes: Abstract Photoacoustic Fourier transform infrared (PA-FT-IR) depth profiling spectra of the enamel of an intact human tooth are obtained in a completely nondestructive fashion. The compositional and structural changes in the tissue are probed from the enamel surface to a depth of about 200 μm. These changes reflect the state of tissue development. The subsurface carbonate gradient in the enamel could be observed over the range of about 10–100 μm. The carbonate-to-phosphate ratio increases in the depth profile. The depth profile also reveals changes in the substitutional distribution of carbonate ions. Type A carbonates (hydroxyl substituted) increase relative to type B carbonates (phosphate substituted) with increasing thermal diffusion length. In addition to the changes in the carbonate ion distribution and content, the PA-FT-IR depth profile clearly indicates a dramatic increase in the protein content relative to the phosphate content with increased depth. The changes in the carbonate content and distribution, along with the changes in the protein content, may be responsible for the changes observed in the apatitic structure in the depth profile of the enamel.

    Notes: Abstract The amelogenins of the extracellular matrix of developing dental enamel, comprise a family of tissue-specific proteins which are postulated to play a central role in the biomineralization of dental enamel [1]. The primary structures of amelogenins derived from cow, pig, human, mouse and rat have now been elucidated by the interpretation of cDNA sequences or by direct amino acid sequence determinations [2–6] demonstrating a high degree of sequence homology between species [1]. However, the nature of post-translational modification of these proteins is less clear. In particular, early reports of amelogenin phosphorylation [7–8] have proved to be difficult to confirm by direct chemical analyses [1]. Using mass spectrographic analysis, we recently [9], reported that the lower molecular weight (5–7 kDa) bovine and porcine amelogenin polypeptides (TRAP and LRAP) contained a single phospho-serine residue at position 16Ser and, since these polypeptides are derived by proteolytic processing from the higher molecular weight “parent” amelogenins (18–25 kDa), we concluded that these precursor molecules must also be phosphorylated, as has previously been suggested [10]. In contrast to these observations, an extensive amino acid sequencing study of porcine amelogenins has recently reported no evidence for such phosphorylation [11]. We now report that a new analysis of the major porcine(“20K”) amelogenin provides positive evidence for porcine amelogenin phosphorylation.

    Notes: Abstract Morphological and structural analysis of the earliest stage of crystal formation in enamel of rat incisors, by use of energy filtering transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM), has shown needlelike crystallites with a dotlike substructure. We conclude that these dots (nanometer-sized particles) have developed at nucleating, active sites along the non-collagenous matrix proteins in enamel. Calcium and phosphate groups are bound at such “active sites” and develop to nuclei, which grow to these stable dots (nanometer-sized particles). The dots coalesce rapidly in longitudinal direction, along the matrix proteins, with neighbouring dots to form parallel arranged “needlelike” crystallites. These needles grow and coalesce in lateral directions to ribbon-platelike crystallites. In enamel most of the organic substance becomes decomposed and transported to the ameloblasts. Consequently, the ribbon-platelike crystallites can coalesce to form much thicker (hydroxy)-apatite crystals than in dentine. Already in the earliest stage of crystal formation the mineral chains of dots (nanometer-sized particles) and the needlelike crystallites show a parallel orientation in the direction of the c-axis of hydroxyapatite. This is supported by the texture of the 002 reflections in the corresponding electron spectroscopic diffraction patterns (ESD), which appear as the first Bragg reflections.

    Notes: Summary The aim of the present work was to investigate changes in cross-sectional morphologies of enamel crystallites as a function of location in secretory porcine enamel. Enamel tissues were obtained from 5- to 6-month-old slaughtered piglets. For examination by electron microscopy, a portion of the secretory enamel was embedded in resin and ultrathin sections were prepared with a diamond knife. In parallel studies, compositional and structural changes of enamel mineral were assessed by chemical analysis and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. For this purpose, two consecutive layers of the outer secretory enamel, each approximately 30 μm thick, were separated from the labial side of permanent incisors. Using high-resolution electron microscopy, early events of enamel crystal growth were characterized as the epitaxial growth of small apatite units on the lateral surfaces of the initially precipitated thin ribbon. These apatite units had regular triangle or trapezoid cross-sections. After fusions of those isolated trapezoids on both lateral sides of the platy template, the resulting enamel crystallites had the well-documented flattened-hexagonal shapes in cross-sections. The initially precipitated thin plate was buried inside the overgrown apatite lamella and then retained as a central dark line. Similar morphological evidence for the epitaxial nucleation and overgrowth of carbonatoapatite on the platy template was obtainedin vitro. Chemical and FTIR analyses of the enamel layer samples showed that the characteristics of the youngest enamel mineral were distinct from those of enamel crystals found in older secretory enamel. The overall results support the concept that initial enamel mineralization comprises two events: the initial precipitation of thin ribbons and the subsequent epitaxial growth of apatite crystals on the two-dimensional octacalcium phosphate-like precursor.

    Notes: Abstract The rate of eruption of rat mandibular incisors was either increased by cutting one tooth out of occlusion or eliminated by means of pinning. The effects of such changes in eruption rate on the sulphated glycosylaminoglycan content of the periodontal ligaments was analysed. The length of the enamel secretory zone and the composition of the developing enamel matrix protein was also compared. Sulphated glycosylaminoglycan content of the periodontal ligament increased fourfold (P〈0.001) during accelerated eruption but decreased to a corresponding extent (P〈0.001) in the absence of eruption, when compared with controls. The length of the enamel secretory zone was also significantly reduced in the immobilised teeth, although the protein content was similar compared with controls. The results demonstrate the differential response to varied eruption rates of the periodontal ligament and enamel, particularly in respect of the extracellular matrix. The data are consistent with the view that the ground substance of the periodontal ligament plays a role in the generation of the eruptive force.

    Notes: Summary Considerable evidence suggests that an acidic calcium phosphate, such as octacalcium phosphate (OCP) or brushite, is involved as a precursor in enamel and other hard tissue formation. Additionally, there is in vitro evidence suggesting that fluoride accelerates and magnesium inhibits the hydrolysis of OCP to hydroxyapatite (OHAp). As the amount of OCP or brushite in enamel cannot be measured directly in the presence of an excess of hydroxyapatite, a procedure was developed that allows for their indirect in vivo quantification as pyrophosphate. This permits study of the effects of fluoride and magnesium ions on enamel mineral synthesis. Rat incisor calcium phosphate was labeled by intraperitoneal injection of NaH2 32PO4. The rats were then subjected to various fluoride and magnesium treatments with subcutaneous implanted osmotic pumps. They were then killed at predetermined intervals; the nascent sections of the incisors were collected, cleaned, and pyrolyzed at 500°C for 48 hours to convert acidic calcium phosphates to calcium pyrophosphate; the pyrophosphate was separated from orthophosphate by anion-exchange chromatography; and the resulting fractions were counted by liquid scintillation spectrometry. The activities of the pyro- and orthophosphate fractions were used to calculate the amount of acidic calcium phosphate present in the nascent mineral. The results demonstrated that the percentage of radioactive pyrophosphate in nascent incisors decreased with time, with increasing serum F- concentration, and with decreasing serum magnesium content. The technique described here should prove to be a powerful new tool for studying the effects of various agents on biological mineral formation.

    Notes: Summary In order to study the effect of F- on tooth enamel-like apatite formation, crystal growth experiments were carried out in the presence of 0.1}2 ppm F- at 37°C and at pH 6.5 in a model system of enamel formation where octacalcium phosphate (OCP) was stable. Morphology changed from long and thin ribbons to small needle-like plates, and the product changed from OCP to apatite with an increase in F- concentration. In the presence of 0.1–1 ppm F-, apatite-OCP intergrowth took place, and crystals composed of apatite and OCP lamellas were formed. These crystals showed long and thin plate-like morphology and embedded an OCP lamella in the center of the crystal. The OCP lamella and its (100) planes were parallel to the (100) planes of apatite. The thickness of OCP decreased and that of apatite increased with an increase in F- concentration. Some apatite crystals obtained at 1 ppm F- embedded a central plane instead of the distinct OCP lamella. The result indicates that initially formed, thin, plate-like OCP acted as a template for the subsequent epitaxial overgrowth of apatite and, moreover, F- played an important role in regulating the apatite-OCP intergrowth.

    Notes: Summary The present study was undertaken in an attempt to relate the kinetics of hydroxyapatite dissolution to solution parameters, under experimental conditions relevant to the dental caries process. Thus, the dissolution of hydroxyapatite was studied in acetic, lactic, and dilute phosphoric acid solutions having initial pH values from 4 to 6. Rates of dissolution and the corresponding degree of saturation with respect to hydroxyapatite were determined at various times throughout the dissolution process. Rates of dissolution of all solutions were found to decrease with increasing degree of solution saturation and were greater in solutions with lower initial values of pH. However, rates of dissolution in partially saturated phosphoric acid solutions (without added organic acid) were at least one order of magnitude lower than those observed in the organic acid buffers with the same initial pH, over the same range of saturation values. The data obtained are consistent with a surface-controlled dissolution model in which the rate of dissolution is dependent upon the degree of saturation and the sum of the activities of the acidic species in solution, i.e., phosphoric and organic acids. These results suggest that in order to assess the cariogenic potential of a given medium (e.g., plaque fluid), one must determine both the degree of saturation with respect to the dissolving mineral and the activities of acidic species in solution.

    Notes: Summary Magnesium (Mg) is a conspicuous constituent of hard tissues but its possible role in biomineralization is poorly understood. It is possible that Mg2+ adsorbed onto bioapatites may contribute to the modulation of crystal growth as such inhibitory activity has been reported for synthetic apatites. The present study was undertaken to determine the adsorption isotherms of Mg ions onto synthetic apatites and biominerals in tooth and bone tissues in the presence of other ions of natural occurrence. Synthetic crystals used as adsorbents were hydroxyapatite and, as a better prototype for the biomineral, Mg-containing carbonatoapatite. Human enamel and dentin materials were obtained from extracted, caries-free, permanent teeth. Porcine dentin materials at two developmental stages were obtained from erupted deciduous and unerupted permanent teeth of a 6-month-old slaughtered piglet. Porcine bone was obtained from the cortical portion of the mandible of the same animal. All biomineral samples were pulverized and then treated by plasma ashing (deproteination) at about 60°C. Each of the powdered samples was equilibrated in solutions containing various initial concentrations of Mg2+, Ca2+, and Na+ (or K+) as nitrate salts. Following equilibration, concentrations (and activities) of magnesium and calcium ions in the experimental solution were determined. The pH values of the equilibrium solutions were in the range of 6.2–6.5. Experimental data of the Mg adsorption onto hydroxyapatite were interpreted on the basis of a Langmuir-type model for binary systems assuming competition of Mg2+ and Ca2+ for the same adsorption sites on the crystal surfaces of the apatites. According to this model, the adsorbed Mg is expressed as a function of the ionic activity ratio (Mg2+)/(Ca2+) in the equilibrium solution. The model contains two parameters, the adsorption selectivity constant Ks and the maximum number of adsorption sites N (μmol/g). The numerical values of Ks were similar for all adsorbents used (synthetic and biological) and indicated the preferential adsorption of Ca2+ probably due to spacial restrictions extending to the very surface of the crystals. The initial level of Mg2+ in the surface pool was different in the various biominerals, probably reflecting the composition of fluid in which the biominerals were formed. Whereas the surface pool of Mg of human enamel was marginal, only 5% of the total Mg, significant fractions of the total Mg in human and porcine dentins (about 20–30%), and porcine bone (about 40%) existed on the crystal surfaces. There were significant differences in the total Mg and the value of the parameter N between young (unerupted) and mature (erupted) dentin minerals. It was ascertained that the occupancy of adsorption sites by Mg ions became greater with maturation of the dentin tissues. The overall results suggest that the Mg-mineral interaction in tooth and bone tissues may be a highly tissue-specific process, presumably reflecting differences in fluid composition (particularly Ca and Mg activities) responsible for biomineralization.

    Notes: Summary The ultrastructural distibution and histochemical properties of sulfated glycoconjugates were investigated in the developing enamel of the adult newt, Triturus pyrrhogaster, by use of the high-iron diamine thiocarbohydrazide silver proteinate (HID-TCH-SP) staining and enzymatic digestion methods. Development and ultrastructure of the enamel were also studied. After deposition of the mantle dentin matrix to a certain thickness, the first enamel matrix, globular in shape, appeared in juxtaposition to the dental basement membrane and tended to be intermixed with the previously deposited dentin matrix. Subsequently, enamel matrix was deposited outside (ameloblastic side) of the dental basal lamina and formed a true enamel layer. Thus, developing enamel of the newt consists of two layers: (1) an inner layer made up of a dentin-enamel mixed matrix and (2) an outer layer composed of only true enamel matrix. HID-TCH-SP precipitates resulting from the abovementioned studies were found in the mixed matrix and were identified as chondroitin sulfates; in contrast, the true enamel matrix contained no sulfated glycoconjugates.

    Notes: Abstract Fifteen laboratory-born Japanese macaques,Macaca fuscata (Blyth, 1875), were examined radiographically for the timing of initial crown calcification of the permanent upper first incisors. The mean age of initial calcification was 199.8 days in females and 204.7 days in males; the sexual difference was significant (p〈.05). Precocious incisor calcification in females inM. fuscata resembles that inM. nemestrina andHomo sapiens.

    Notes: Summary The lysosomal systems in maturation-ameloblasts affected by colchicine were examined using trimetaphosphatase cytochemistry. Demineralized segments of rat incisor were incubated for trimetaphosphatase. At all time intervals, lysosomal structures exhibited reduced enzyme reactivity and were clustered in the Golgi region of the cell. Both ruffle-ended and smooth-ended ameloblasts maintained essentially normal morphology up to 4 h after colchicine injection, except for some migration of organelles. After 8 h, the ruffled border was markedly modified and the associated dense granular material was no longer present. Changes in the lysosomal system and ruffled border indicate interference by colchicine with a putative resorptive function of the maturation-ameloblasts.

    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Rinder Amelogenin, die organische Matrix, welche durch die Zahnschmelz-bildenden Zellen sezerniert wird, wirkt als Antigen auf das Kaninchen. Die gereinigte Gammaglobulinfraktion des Kaninchen-Antiserums ergibt auf einer Doppel-Diffusions-Agarplatte eine einzelne Koagulinlinie, wenn sie mit Amelogenin reagiert. Unterfraktionen aus Amelogenin isoliert durch Acrylamid-Gel-Elektrophorese und durch Sephadex-Gel-Filtration wurden in ihrer Antigen-Wirksamkeit identisch gefunden. Die Antigen-Fraktion von Amelogenin wurde durch eine Sephadex G-100-Säule von der Gesamtmenge des Zahnschmelz-Proteins getrennt. Auf Grund seiner bei der Elektrophorese und der Gel-Filtration beobachtetem Eigenschaften ist Amelogenin ein aus verschiedenen Komponenten zusammengesetztes System; Amelogenin wirkt jedoch immunologisch als ein einzelnes Antigen.
    Notes: Abstract Bovine amelogenin, the organic matrix secreted by the dental-enamel-forming cells, is antigenic in the rabbit. The purified gamma globulin fraction of the rabbit antisera when reacted with amelogenin in a double diffusion agar plate forms a single precipitin line. Subfractions isolated from amelogenin by acrylamide gel electrophoresis and by Sephadex gel filtration were found to be antigenically identical. The antigenic fraction of amelogenin was separated from the bulk of the enamel protein by a Sephadex G-100 column. On the basis of its electrophoretic and gel filtration properties, amelogenin is a multi-component system; however, immunologically, amelogenin acts as a single antigen.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'objet de cette étude a été de déterminer l'effet du mode de préparation (par meulage) sur la largeur des raies de diffraction de l'émail. La préparation d'émail, par meulage, en utilisant divers procédés ainsi qu'une pièce à main dentaire conventionnelle provoque un élargissement des pics obtenus (002, 211, 200 et 202) lorsqu'on la compare avec de la poudre d'émail, obtenue par meulage à l'aide de billes. L'élargissement des raies n'est pas observé lorqu'un monocristal d'hydroxylapatite est meulé à l'aide d'un diamant fin. En général, l'élargissement est moins important, lorsque le meulage est effectué à l'aide de turbines dentaires. L'importance du meulage dépend de façon variable d'un ou plusieurs des facteurs suivants: rugosité des instruments coupants, vitesse de meulage, direction de meulage, et la présence ou l'absence d'eau. Le meulage prolongé par billes de l'émail provoque aussi un élargissement dans les mêmes conditions, cependant, l'os n'est pas endommagé. Ces résultats indiquent que l'émail est plus sensible que l'hydroxylapatite et l'os. L'élargissement de raies peut être dû soit à une déformation de la maille cristalline, soit à une diminution de taille des cristaux.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Es wurde eine Untersuchung durchgeführt, um den Einfluß der Probenvorbereitung (Zerreibungsmethode) auf die Breite des Linienprofil-Querschnittes von Zahnschmelz zu bestimmen. Gewinnung von Zahnschmelz mit den verschiedenen Schneidinstrumenten einer konventionellen Bohrmaschine verursachte eine Verbreiterung aller untersuchten Peaks (002, 211, 200 und 202) im Vergleich zum gleichen Schmelz, der mit dem Rosenbohrer zerrieben wurde. Eine Verbreiterung der Linie konnte nicht beobachtet werden, wenn ein einzelner Kristall von Hydroxyapatit mit einem ganz feinen Diamanten zerrieben wurde. Im allgemeinen war die Verbreiterung weniger ausgesprochen, wenn die hochtourige Bohrtechnik zur Anwendung kam. Das Ausmaß der Verbreiterung, das durch Zahnbohrer verursacht wurde, war abhängig von einem oder mehreren der folgenden Faktoren: Rauheit des Schneidinstrumentes, Zerreibungsgeschwindigkeit, Zerreibungsrichtung und das Vorhandensein oder Fehlen von Wasser. Verlängerte Zerreibung von Schmelz mit dem Rosenbohrer verursachte ebenfalls eine Verbreiterung. Unter identischen Bedingungen blieb der ausgeglühte Knochen jedoch unversehrt. Diese Beobachtungen zeigen, daß Schmelz für Zerreibungsschäden anfälliger ist, als Hydroxyapatitkristalle oder ausgeglühter Knochen. Die eigentliche Ursache der Linienverbreiterung kann entweder eine Schädigung infolge Distortion des Gitters oder eino Reduktion der Größe der individuellen Kristalle sein.
    Notes: Abstract A study was conducted to determine the effect of sample preparation (grinding method) upon breadth of the diffraction profile of enamel. Collecting enamel by grinding with various cuttin tools in the low-speed dental handpiece caused broadening of all peaks (002, 211, 300 and 202) examined, compared to ball, ground, counter-part enamel. Line broadening was not observed when a single crystal of mineral hydroxyapatite was ground with a very fine diamond. In general, broadening was less pronounced with the high-speed air turbine technique. The amount of broadening caused by dental burs depended upon one or more of the following factors: coarseness of cutting instrument, grinding speed, grinding direction, and the presence or absence of water. Prolonged ball grinding of enamel also caused broadening; under identical conditions, however, annealed bone remained undamaged. These findings indicate that enamel is more sensitive to grinding damage than the mineral hydroxyapatite crystal or annealed bone. The actual cause of line broadening may be either strain due to lattice distortions or a reduction in size of individual crystallites.

    Notes: Summary The ultrastructure of secreting ameloblasts of deciduous teeth from a human foetus (crown-rump length 195 mm) was investigated. The ameloblasts demonstrate a formation of granules in a juxtanuclear Golgi complex. In the Tomes' process the granules are released either through the lateral plasma membrane into the intercellular space between the Tomes' processes or directly through the apical plasma membrane into the enamel. The human ameloblasts differ from non-human ameloblasts in having a non-oriented vesicular granular endoplasmic reticulum. Further, the majority of mitochondria are situated in the apical part of the ameloblast adjacent to the Tomes' process.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé De la matrice d'émail de bœuf déminéralisé est soumise à l'électrophorèse à gel de polyacrylamide, à pH acide. Une composition protéique beaucoup plus complexe que celle décrite jusqu'à présent est mise en évidence. Elle est constituée par 6 composés principaux et 12 composés mineurs. La chromatographie par filtration sur gel Sephadex G. 50, à pH 3.0 et sous force ionique faible, donne une séparation partielle de ces composants, qui concorde avec le fractionnement obtenu par différences de poids moléculaire. L'électrophorèse à polyacrylamide de ces fractions, avec et sans 5 M d'urée, montre qu'à pH acide, les composés isolés dans les gels d'acrylamide ne constituent pas des substances labiles. Ces résultats sont envisagés en fonction des théories actuelles concernant la composition matricielle et son rôle possible au cours de la calcification de l'émail.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die fetale Zahnschmelzmatrix von Rindern wurde demineralisiert und einer Polyacrylamid-Gel „Dise”-Elektrophorese bei saurem pH unterworfen. Diese Technik zeigte eine Proteinzusammensetzung, die komplexer ist als bisher beschrieben wurde, nämlich mit mindestens 6 Haupt- und 12 Nebenkomponenten. Sephadex G 50 Gel-Filtrations-Chromatographie bei einem pH von 3.0 und schwacher Ionenstärke ergab eine teilweise Trennung dieser Komponenten, in Übereinstimmung mit einer Fraktionierung, welche sich auf Unterschiede im Molekulargewicht stützt. Eine Polyacrylamid- Elektrophorese dieser Säulenfraktionen sowohl mit als auch ohne 5 M Harnstoff zeigte, daß bei saurem pH die Acrylamid-Gel sichtbaren Komponenten nicht als labile Aggregate vorhanden sind. Diese Resultate werden im Zusammenhang mit den aktuellen Begriffen über die Zusammensetzung der Matrix und ihrer möglichen Rolle bei der Verkalkung des Zahnschmelzes besprochen.
    Notes: Abstract Demineralised bovine foetal enamel matrix was subjected to polyacrylamide gel “disc” electrophoresis at acid pH. This technique revealed a protein composition more complex than hitherto described with a minimum of six principal and twelve minor components. Sephadex G. 50 gel filtration chromatography at pH 3.0 and low ionic strength produced a partial separation of these components in accord with a fractionation based on molecular weight differences. Polyacrylamide electrophoresis of these column fractions both in the presence and absence of 5 M urea, showed that at acid pH the components seen in the acrylamide gels were not present as labile aggregates. These results are discussed in relation to current concepts of the matrix composition and its possible role in the calcification of enamel.
