The role of T-cells in the development of periapical lesions was investigated immunohistochemically using 16 normal (BALB/c) mice and 16 nude (BALB/c nu/nu) mice (congenitally T-cell-deficient mice). The pulp chambers of maxillar first molars of all mice were opened, and the infiltrated immunocytes (anti-Thy1.2, -Lyt-1, -Lyt-2, -L3T4, -I-A(d), -IgG, and -IgM positive cells) were determined immunohistochemically at 2, 4, 6, and 8 wk after operation. Periapical lesions appeared at 2 wk in both mouse groups. Numerous anti-I-A(d) positive-stained cells appeared at 2 wk, anti-I-A(d), -Thy1.2 (-Lyt-1, -L3T4), -IgG positive-stained cells appeared between 4 and 8 wk, and periapical lesions with bone resorption rapidly increased until 4 wk in normal mice. On the other hand in nude mice, only anti-I-A(d) and -IgG positive cells were present from 4 to 6 wk, and the progress of periapical lesions with inflammatory cells stopped at 6 wk. Furthermore, numerous fibroblasts were found instead of inflammatory cells at 8 wk. These findings suggest that the progression of periapical lesions with bone resorption required helper T-cells and numerous immunoglobulin-producing cells.
