Demonstration of Factor H-Like Protein 1 Binding toTreponema denticola, a Pathogen Associated with Periodontal Disease in Humans
26 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
Treponema denticola is an important contributor to periodontal disease. In this study we investigated the ability of T. denticola to bind the complement regulatory proteins factor H and factor H-like protein 1 (FHL-1). The binding of these proteins has been demonstrated to facilitate evasion of the alternative complement cascade and/or to play a role in adherence and invasion. Here we demonstrate that T....
