Introduction: Human cells express membrane‐bound complement regulatory proteins to
prevent complement‐mediated autologous tissue damage. In this study, we hypothesized …

Porphyromonas gingivalis is a keystone pathogen in periodontitis. Our previous study
indicated that periodontitis induced by P. gingivalis increased the percentage of CD19+ B …

Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is a periodontal pathogen that may accumulate
with other organisms in subgingival plaque biofilms and is associated with periodontal …

Porphyromonas gingivalis is an oral pathogen that has recently been associated with
chronic inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis. The strength of the epidemiological …

Fimbriae from Porphyromonas gingivalis are believed to play an important role in the
pathogenesis of periodontal diseases. The aim of the present study was to identify the …

To characterize the roles of Porphyromonas gingivalis and its components in the disease
processes, we investigated the cytokine profile induced by live P. gingivalis, its …

Porphyromonas gingivalis is implicated in the etiology of chronic periodontitis. Fimbriae are
one of several critical surface virulence factors of P. gingivalis. Interleukin 15 (IL-15) is a …

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

In monocytes and macrophages, the interaction of Porphyromonas gingivalis with Toll‐like
receptor 2 (TLR 2) leads to the activation of a MyD88‐dependent antimicrobial pathway and …

Porphyromonas gingivalis 381 fimbriae and a synthetic peptide composed of residues 69–
73 (ALTTE) of the fimbrial subunit protein, FP381 (69–73), function in the induction of …
