Abstract excerpt
Porphyromonas gingivalis, a putative pathogen in human periodontal disease, possesses a 60-kDa heat shock protein (hsp60, GroEL). The GroEL homologs are known to be key molecules in auto-immune reactions because of the sequence similarity with human hsp60. In this study, B-cell epitopes on P. gin...
