Phagocytosis of pathogens is an important component of the innate immune system that is
responsible for the removal and degradation of bacteria as well as their presentation via the …

No studies to date clearly define the interactions between Porphyromonas gingivalis and
human peripheral blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), nor has a protective role for …

Porphyromonas gingivalis has been strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of human
periodontitis. Fimbriae mediate adherence and colonization of the oral cavity by this …

In this study 17 strains of Porphyromonas gingivalis, both reference and clinical isolates,
were investigated for their in vitro interaction with human polymorphonuclear leukocytes …

Humans develop periodontitis in response to challenge by microbial dental plaque.
Inflammation begins after perturbation of gingival epithelial cells by subgingival bacteria …

The immunodominant antigens of Porphyromonas gingivalis 381 whole cells that reacted
with sera from high‐responder patients were examined in this study. Whole cells, phenol …

To further investigate the relationship between fimbriae and the hemagglutinating adhesin
HA-Ag2 of Porphyromonas gingivalis, three spontaneous mutants of the type strain ATCC …

Although Porphyromonas gingivalis is a denned pathogen in periodontal disease, many
subjects control the infection without experiencing loss of attachment. Differences in host …

The presence of Porphyromonas gingivalis with type II fimA is strongly associated with adult
periodontitis. However, the importance of specific fimA types in the immune response is …

Rabbit polyclonal antibody (Poly‐1) and mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) TO‐11, TO‐
14 and TO‐M1 specific for Porphyromonas gingivalis 381 fimbriae were prepared. Poly‐1 …
