The distribution of fibronectin (FN) in longitudinal, buccolingual sections of decalcified adult rat periodontium and teeth was studied by indirect immunofluorescence using a monoclonal antibody. FN was present in virtually all regions of the periodontium, including the gingiva, periodontal ligament, many blood vessel walls, alveolar bone, incisor and molar predentine and dentine, and molar acellular and cellular cementum. The cementum of the incisor, ameloblasts, stratum intermedium and stellate reticulum, and the connective tissue of the pulp and the surface of ondontoblasts facing the pulp in the incisor and molar were not labeled for FN. FN distribution was not always uniform either within a given connective tissue or between different connective tissues of the same organ.
