Fimbriae have been reported to play an important role in the adherence of Porphyromonas
gingivalis to oral surfaces and possibly in triggering host responses. P. gingivalis ATCC …

We have discovered two distinctly different fimbriae expressed by the same Porphyromonas
gingivalis strain. The construction of a fimA mutant of P. gingivalis ATCC 33277 has …

Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae elicit many responses in eukaryotic cells, including
mitogenicity, cytokine production, epithelial cell invasion, and cellular immune response …

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 …

The adherence of Porphyromonas gingivalis to host cells is likely a prerequisite step in the
pathogenesis of P. gingivalis-induced periodontal disease. P. gingivalis binds to and …

Porphyromonas gingivalis W50 (ATCC 53978) possesses the gene for fimbriae; however,
the surface-expressed fimbriae are sparse and have not been previously isolated and …

Binding of Porphyromonas gingivalis to pellicle-coated teeth is mediated to a large extent by
fimbrillin, a major structural subunit of fimbriae. A simple and efficient method for purifying …

The Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbria is an important virulence factor involved in the
adherence and colonization of the organism in the oral cavity. In this study, we transformed …

Fimbriae have been reported to play an important role in the adherence of Porphyromonas
gingivalis to oral surfaces and possibly in triggering host responses. A structural subunit of …

Isogenic mutants of Porphyromonas gingivalis which differ in the expression of fimbriae
were used to examine the contribution of fimbriae in invasion of a human oral epithelial cell …
