[Detection of Gm, Km, and EsD phenotypes in the dental pulp of human cadavers ]

Dental pulps of human cadavers (some of them putrefied) were investigated to determine the immunoglobulin markers G1m(1,2,3), G3m(5,10,21), Km(1), and the isozyme EsD. Reliable results were obtained in the Gm and Km typings, also in putrefied or skeletonized cadavers. EsD typings revealed that the phenotypes EsD(1) and EsD(2-1) are expressed in the dental pulp and can also be detected there in putrefied cadavers.
