Abstract
1. Porphyromonas gingivalis, an important pathogen in human periodontal disease, aggregates with Actinomyces viscosus ATCC 19246. 2. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against purified recombinant 40-kDa outer-membrane protein (r40-kDa, OMP) of P. gingivalis 381 inhibited its coaggregation with A. viscosus ATCC 19246 in a dose-dependent manner. 3. Five mAb clones against r40-kDa OMP were selected. The isotype of the five was IgG1. 4. Pg-ompA2 inhibited the coaggregation of several strains of P. gingivalis with A. viscosus ATCC 19246 cells.Entities:
