| Research Abstract |
Embryonic mouse tooth germs were excised and were devided into epithelium and mesenchyme followed by combination cultures to examine gene expression during tooth development and formation. Complementary DNA library was made using RNAs prepared from these combinatorial cultures. We cloned novel genes expressed during tooth development. We also analyzed 6kb amelogenin gene promoter fragment. Using another cDNA library made from C1 cell RNA,we cloned out noggin cDNA.In situ hybridization revealed novel expression pattern of noggin during hard tissue formation and development. These molecules would play their role as signals during embryogenesis.
