Abstract excerpt
A cysteine protease mutant, G-102, of Porphyromonas gingivalis 381 defective in the rgp-1 gene has been recently constructed in this laboratory. In order to evaluate the role of the protease in the virulence properties of P. gingivalis, a number of putative periodontopathic properties of the mutant were evaluated. Relative to the parental strain, mutant G-102 was demonstrated to be defective in interacting with...
