Meanwhile ABCs were cultured and purified by repeated differential trypsinization. Then ABCs were cultured with conditioned medium from developing apical complex cells （DAC-CM）. Immunocytochemistry, reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR） and scanning electron microscope （SEM） were performed to compare the biolo- gical change of ABC treated with or without DAC-CM. Results First we confirmed the ability of apical bud to form crown-like structure ectopically. Equally important, by using the developing apical complex （DAC） condi- tioned medium, we found the microenvironment created by root could abrogate the ＂crown＂ features of ABCs and promote their proliferation and differentiation. Conclusion ABCs possess odontogenic capability to form crown-like tissues and this property can be affected by root-produced microenvironment.展开更多
