Abstract excerpt
We have reported recently that increased expression of membrane alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity is a phenotypical characteristic of gingival fibroblasts located in chronic inflammatory periodontal lesions. To understand the cellular properties of these cells, we isolated ALP-positive gingival fibroblasts from patients with adult periodontitis and evaluated their proliferative potential. Using an enzymatic...
