Title: Porphyromonas gingivalis-specific immunoglobulin G prevents P. gingivalis-elicited oral bone loss in a murine model. Author: Gibson FC, Gonzalez DA, Wong J, Genco CA. Journal: Infect Immun; 2004 Apr; 72(4):2408-11. PubMed ID: 15039370. Abstract: Active immunization with Porphyromonas gingivalis whole-cell preparations has been shown to prevent P. gingivalis infection and oral bone loss. Employing passive antibody transfer and opsonization, we demonstrate with this study that immunization-elicited P. gingivalis-specific immunoglobulin G facilitates clearance of P. gingivalis in a subcutaneous chamber model and prevents P. gingivalis-elicited oral bone loss.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
