Multipotent mesenchymal stem cells with immunosuppressive activity can be easily isolated from dental pulp.

Background: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are currently being investigated in preclinical and clinical settings because of their multipotent differentiative capacity or, alternatively, their immunosuppressive function. The aim of this study was to evaluate dental pulp (DP) as a potential source of MSCs instead of bone marrow (BM).

Methods: Flow cytometric analysis showed that DP-MSCs and BM-MSCs were equally SH2, SH3, SH4, CD29 and CD 166 positive.
