Description:
The indirect method of immunofluorescence was used to demonstrate the presence of amelogenins in the enameloid of teeth and dermal denticles of Chondrichthyes; in the enameloid of Teleostei and Amphibia; and in the enamel of Reptilia. Nonmammalian amelogenins are formed in the ectodermal cells of tooth organs and chemically are so similar to mammalian amelogenins that they interact with antiserum prepared from bovine enamel matrix.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Herold, R C -- Graver, H T -- Christner, P -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1980 Mar 21;207(4437):1357-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6986656" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
