Cytokine messenger RNA expression in chronic inflammatory periodontal disease

Abstract excerpt

It has previously been reported that, in periodontitis lesions, T cells with a memory/activated phenotype and with a type 2 cytokine profile accumulate in an oligoclonal fashion. Delineation of the role of cytokines in periodontal inflammation has, however, been complicated because of cross-regulation and because of their overlapping and often redundant effects. The aim of this study was to examine messenger RNA...
