Ruffini endings in the periodontal ligament of rodents are ensheathed by a special type of terminal Schwann cell with a particularly developed rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, and further enveloped by a characteristic multi-layered structure. In order to reveal the functional significance of the structures, localization of a laminin molecule in the periodontal Ruffini endings of rats was immunohistochemically investigated at the levels of light and electron microscopy.Immunostaining using an anti-laminin serum clearly demonstrated the profiles of the Ruffini endings as well as those of the blood vessels. Ultrastructurally, reaction products for laminin were deposited in the entire thickness of the multi-layered structure, supporting the idea that this structure is derived from the basal lamina. The basal lamina, immunoreacting with laminin antiserum, was penetrated by periodontal collagen fibers, possibly serving as an adhesive device between the Ruffini endings and surrounding collagen fibers. The laminin immunoreactive materials were also recognized in the vesicles and caveolae of the terminal Schwann cells which tended to gather at the interstitial surface of the cells. The terminal Schwann cells are therefore believed to be directly involved in the formation of the multilayered basal lamina through the active production of its materials.
