Mitotic activity in the oral epithelium of the albino rat
P. Cleaton-Jones
In groups of Wistar rats 3 and 12 months of age, colchicine and
radioautography were used to assess mitotic activity in oral epitheliums.
Apparent mitotic activity in the epitheliums of the cheek, hard palate, and
central, intermediate, and lateral zones of the soft palate depended on the
method used and the age of the rat.
