Immune Responses to HSP65/60 in Periodontal Disease
Chronic periodontitis (CP) is a chronic inflammatory condition which destroys the supporting tissues of teeth and increases in prevalence with age. Immune responses against heat shock proteins (HSP) can be cross-reactive among bacterial and human antigens. There is evidence that microbial HSP65 and human HSP60 are involved in periodontal disease. The aim of this study is to investigate immune r...
متن کاملHumoral immune responses to periodontal pathogens in the elderly
PURPOSE Elderly people are thought to be more susceptible to periodontal disease due to reduced immune function associated with aging. However, little information is available on the nature of immune responses against putative periodontal pathogens in geriatric patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the serum IgG antibody responses to six periodontal pathogens in geriatric subjects...
متن کاملRole of Autoimmune Responses in Periodontal Disease
Periodontal diseases are characterized by localized infections and inflammatory conditions that directly affect teeth supporting structures which are the major cause of tooth loss. Several studies have demonstrated the involvement of autoimmune responses in periodontal disease. Evidences of involvement of immunopathology have been reported in periodontal disease. Bacteria in the dental plaque i...
متن کاملThe Impact of Bacteria-Induced Adaptive Immune Responses in Periodontal Disease
More than one microorganism causes periodontal disease, like many infectious diseases in humans. Because of the complexity of “polymicrobial infections”, their study requires a multidisciplinary approach, employing specific in vitro techniques, and various animal models (Bakaletz 2004). Inherently, no one approach or animal model can completely elucidate the mechanisms of periodontal disease. N...
متن کاملImmune responses to pertussis vaccines and disease.
In this article we discuss the following: (1) acellular vaccines are immunogenic, but responses vary by vaccine; (2) pertussis antibody levels rapidly wane but promptly increase after vaccination; (3) whole-cell vaccines vary in immunogenicity and efficacy; (4) whole-cell vaccines and naturally occurring pertussis generate predominantly T-helper 1 (Th1) responses, whereas acellular vaccines gen...
