18 May 2022
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: This study used a nonhuman primate model of ligature-induced periodontitis to document the characteristics of immunoglobulin (Ig) gene usage in gingival tissues with disease and affected by age. BACKGROUND: Adaptive immune responses to an array of oral bacteria are routinely detected in local gingival tissues and the systemic circulation across the human population. The level and diversity of antibody...
