Gingival epithelial cell line response to oral pathogen infections
Summary:
Analysis of gingival epithelial HIGK cells infected with Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans or Porphyromonas gingivalis. A. actinomycetemcomitans and P. gingivalis cause periodontal infections. Results provide insight into differences in epithelial cell responses to these pathogens.
