The lectin-binding patterns of the cells involved in amelogenesis and dentinogenesis in developing teeth of rats were studied. Undifferentiated odontogenic epithelia exhibited very slight staining with almost all of the lectins examined. The lectin-staining affinities of secretory ameloblasts could be divided into two categories: Concanavalin-A (Con-A), Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) and Soybean agglutinin (SBA) binding occurred from the middle to apical cytoplasm, whereas Ricinus communis agglutinin-I (RCA-I) and Ulex europeus I (UEA-I) binding predominated in the basal regions. The cells of the stratum intermedium exhibited relatively strange lectin staining, which appeared to be dependent on ameloblastic maturation. The basement membranes in undifferentiated epithelia were markedly positive for lectin binding. Odontoblasts showed moderate Con-A staining on the apical side of the cells, as well as slight-to-moderate reactions with WGA and SBA. Pulp cells and dental papillae showed slight-to-moderate lectin staining, and predentin and dentin were also moderately positive for Con-A and RCA-I binding and slightly so for WGA and SBA. The lectin-binding affinities were enhanced during the formation of enamel and dentin, and appeared to be dependent on the degree of cellular differentiation in ameloblasts and odontoblasts.
