Hemophore-like proteins produced by periodontopathogens are recognized by the host immune system and react differentially with IgG antibodies

Hemophore-like proteins produced by periodontopathogens are recognized by the host immune system and react differentially with IgG antibodies

ABSTRACTAims Hemophore-like proteins sequester heme from host hemoproteins. We aimed to determine whether the host immune system can recognize not only Porphyromonas gingivalis HmuY but also its homologs expressed by other periodontopathogens, and how periodontitis influences the production of respe...
