Abstract
HISTIDINE has been reported as being the predominant basic amino-acid of developing human enamel1. At present specific histochemical methods for in situ demonstration of histidine are not available2. With the recent availability of tritiated histidine, autoradiography appears to offer an adequate method for tracing its utilization in the growing incisors of mice.
