Fusobacterium nucleatum 25 Role of Fusobacterium nucleatum in Periodontal Health and Disease
The pathogenesis of periodontitis involves the interplay of microbiota present in the subgingival plaque and the host responses. Inflammation and destruction of periodontal tissues are considered to result from the response of a susceptible host to a microbial biofilm containing gramnegative pathogens. Antimicrobial peptides are important contributors to maintaining the balance between health a...
متن کاملPurification and Characterization of Chicken Egg Yolk Antibodies (IgY) Against Mastitis Causing Klebsiella pneumoniae
White leghorn hens were immunized intramuscularly with formalin killed Klebsiella pneumoniae cells to generate Klebsiella pneumoniae antibodies (IgY) in egg yolk. Booster injections of increasing concentrations of antigen were given to raise the antibody level in egg yolk. Amount of protein varied from 0.87 7.4mg/ml in egg yolk throughout the immunization period. The antibodies were partially p...
متن کاملProduction of Specific Egg Yolk Antibody (IgY) against Cryptosporidium parvum Oocysts
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Cryptosporidium parvum is a coccidian protozoan that causes diarrhea in immunocompromised humans and newborn animals. The severity of the disease depends on the immunological status of the affected. Cryptosporiosis can have lethal effects on immunocompromised individuals such as AIDS patients. About 10% of...
متن کاملTaxonomy, biology, and periodontal aspects of Fusobacterium nucleatum.
The pathogenic potential of Fusobacterium nucleatum and its significance in the development of periodontal diseases, as well as in infections in other organs, have gained new interest for several reasons. First, this bacterium has the potential to be pathogenic because of its number and frequency in periodontal lesions, its production of tissue irritants, its synergism with other bacteria in mi...
متن کاملProductivity and some properties of immunoglobulin specific against Streptococcus mutans serotype c in chicken egg yolk (IgY).
Hens were immunized on thighs by using whole cells of Streptococcus mutans MT8148 serotype c strain as antigen through intramuscular (im) and subcutaneous (sc) routes to investigate the difference of immunization reactions and the changes in yolk antibody activities against antigen after initial immunization. Several properties of crude IgY were examined to evaluate the stability during food pr...
