Monoclonal antibody (MAb) 61BG1. 3 prevented recolonization of deep pockets by
Porphyromonas gingivalis in patients with periodontitis. The aim of this work was to identify …

Porphyromonas gingivalis is strongly associated with periodontal disease. Significant titres
of specific IgG antibodies to P. gingivalis can be found in healthy individuals and those with …

The humoral immune responses of patients with periodontitis were evaluated to characterize
the host response to Porphyromonas gingivalis. A sonic extract of P. gingivalis 381 from …

Oral Diseases (2010) 16, 375–381 Objective: Porphyromonas gingivalis can invade and
survive within its host epithelial cells. The aim of this study was to test our hypothesis that …

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 …

Live Porphyromonas gingivalis enhanced the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-
1 (ICAM-1) on the surface of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in a bacterial …

Background: Porphyromonas gingivalis, a black‐pigmented, gram‐negative anaerobe, is
found in periodontitis lesions and its presence in subgingival plaque significantly increases …

A wide variety of bacteria including Gram-posi tiveand Gram-negative ones possess
proteinaceous, hair-like appendages called fimbriae or pill. Fim briae, which are …

Objective: Individuals with periodontitis have been cited as having a significantly increased
risk of developing coronary heart disease. Although accumulating evidence suggests that …

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 …
