Immunofluorescent Detection of Actin and Myosin in Healing Gingival Epithelium

Mark A. Piper

Department of Oral Biology, Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts 02115

Indirect immunofluorescent labeling shows a sequential increase in detectable epithelial cell actin and myosin during wound repair migration and maturation. While actin shows a substantial increase between pre-wound and migration levels, the relative detectable myosin is omnipresent at apparently high levels, and it increases only slightly during active migration.
