The present study was performed to examine whether Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae
induce specifically a protein kinase-mediated phosphorylated protein that is involved in the …

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 …

Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae as well as synthetic peptides that mimic the fimbrial
subunit protein, which includes the amino acid sequence XLTXXLTXXNXX, induced high …

The aim of the present study was to characterize the responses of macrophages to surface
antigens of Porphyromonas gingivalis. Native fimbriae, full-length recombinant fimbrillin, 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 …

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

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 …

It has been shown that Porphyromonas gingivalis 381, a suspected periodontopathogen,
possesses fimbriae on its cell surface. The organism is also known to produce proteases …

In this study, we demonstrate that Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbrillin, a major component of
bacterial fimbriae, is one of the fibronectin-binding proteins and that fibronectin is a potent …

Porphyromonas gingivalis is a likely major pathogen in adult periodontitis. Fimbriae in
particular have been suggested as playing an important role in facilitating the initial …
