Abstract excerpt
We have studied lectin reactivity in normal human junctional, sulcular, and attached gingival epithelia with 15 lectins and identified the epithelia by parallel staining with monoclonal anti-keratin antibodies. Dolichos biflorus agglutinin reacted uniquely with junctional epithelium, not staining other gingival cells of non-blood group A1 donors. We have demonstrated that the moiety recognized in junctional...
