These results suggest that the abundant expression of laminin-5 and integrin-alpha(6)beta(4) is involved in the attachment of DAT cells to teeth by hemidesmosomes. Abundant expression of laminin-5 and integrin-alpha(3)beta(1) might assist in DAT cell migration, confirmed by 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine staining during the turnover of junctional epithelium.
