Abstract excerpt
The coding sequence for the surface protein hemagglutinin A (HagA) of Porphyromonas gingivalis 381 has previously been shown to contain four direct 1.35-kb repeats, designated repHA. This study was performed to determine if the number of repHA units in hagA is consistently 4 or if allelic polymorphism exists among strains and/or upon multiple passage of P. gingivalis. To this end, primers which were homologous to...
