Identification of ameloblasts from a developing human incisor for laser capture microdissection. Left panel: H&E staining of a developing human incisor. Right panel: a Magnification of (a) in left panel. Pre-ameloblasts (PAB) were polarized inner enamel epithelial cells that directly contacted the basement membrane and were adjacent to polarized odontoblasts. b Magnification of (b) in left panel. Secretory ameloblasts (SAB) were identified as polarized epithelial cells in direct contact with the enamel matrix. (PAB: preameloblast, SAB: secretory ameloblast, POB: preodontoblast, SOB: secretory odontoblast, D: dentin, E: enamel, SR: Stellate reticulum, SI: Stratum intermedium, P: dental pulp)
