Induction of interleukin‐8 gene expression by black‐pigmented <i>Bacteroides</i> in human pulp fibroblasts and osteoblasts
22 Oct 2003
Abstract excerpt
AIM: To investigate the effect of black-pigmented Bacteroides on the expression of interleukin (IL)-8 gene in human pulp fibroblasts and osteoblasts. METHODOLOGY: The supernatants of Porphyromonas endodontalis, P. gingivalis and Prevotella intermedia were used to evaluate IL-8 gene expression in human pulp fibroblasts and osteoblasts. The levels of mRNAs were measured by the quantitative reverse...
