Inflammatory bone loss from periodontal infections in leukocyte adhesion deficiency disease can be reversed by treatment with antibodies to IL-17 or IL-23.
The oral and intestinal host tissues both carry a heavy microbial burden. Although commensal bacteria contribute to healthy tissue structure function, their contribution health is poorly understood. A crucial component of periodontal the recruitment neutrophils tissue. To elucidate this process, gingival specific-pathogen-free germ-free wild-type mice CXCR2KO MyD88KO were examined for quantitative analysis CXCR2 chemoattractants (CXCL1, CXCL2). We show that does not require bacterial...
Significance Experimental gingivitis studies where dental hygiene is withheld from select teeth, allowing natural bacterial accumulation, provide a unique opportunity to study the reversible transition health inflammatory disease in humans. Longitudinal analysis of both microbial and host changes during human experimental revealed previously unknown variation response succession sequence inflammation. The significance our findings can be summarized two major points. First, comprehensively...
ABSTRACT Periodontitis is a disease of polymicrobial etiology characterized by inflammation, degradation host tissue, and bone that irreversibly destroys the supporting apparatus teeth. Porphyromonas gingivalis contains lipid A with structural heterogeneity has been postulated to contribute initiation dysbiosis in oral communities modulating response, thereby creating permissive environment for its growth. We examined two P. phosphatase mutants which contain different “locked” structures...
Background Potently-neutralizing, anti-MPER humoral responses are uncommon in AIDS patients, though some antibodies, like 4E10, broadly cross-reactive and protective combination passive immunizations. The difficulty raising these specificities may be the result of steric occlusion this region on virions and/or 'masking' epitopes by means; understanding mechanisms, mechanisms which antibodies neutralize, critical selection design vaccine immunogens targeting region.
