Conservation of fimbriae and the hemagglutinating adhesin HA-Ag2 among Porphyromonas gingivalis strains and other anaerobic bacteria studied by epitope mapping analysis
Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies characterized as antifimbria and anti-HA-Ag2 were used in immunoblotting to examine the antigenic distribution of fimbriae and HA-Ag2 among a collection of human and animal Porphyromonas strains and human Prevotella and Bacteroides strains. The results showed that fimbrial and HA-Ag2 antigenic structures are peculiar to the species Porphyromonas gingivalis.
