Abstract excerpt
Defence reactions of the dental pulp potentially involve a variety of immunocompetent cells, particularly class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-expressing cells and macrophages. In order to examine how the immunodefence potential of the pulp changes as a function of age, phenotypic distribution of pulpal cells expressing immunoreactivity to monoclonal antibody ED1 (reactive with nearly all macrophages...
