Abstract
Teeth are organs which develop by inductive interactions between dental epi thelium and subjacent mesenchyme. In order to identify genes involved in od ontoblast and ameloblast differentiation, we have constructed a cDNA librar y from E19.5 mouse molars. In this work, we report partial DNA sequences of 10 non-characterized genes. In addition, we show cell expression of the tr anscripts in mouse embryo molars by in situ hybridization. We discuss the r ole of these genes in cell differentiation.
