Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the pathogenicity of matrix metalloproteinase 8, 9 (MMP-8, MMP-9) regulations of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) by challenge of Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) with different fimA genotypes. METHODS: The studies mainly adopt the isopycnic sedimentation separation to separate the PMNs from human peripheral blood. P. gingivalis ATCC 33277 (type I), WCSP 115 (type II), WCSP...
