Interaction Between Immune Cells and Bacteria Associated With Periodontitis
In Brief
An observational study evaluating In vitro stimulation of blood with periodontitis-associated- and control bacteria, Anti-CCP- and anti-P.g.-antibodies titers, and 2 other interventions for Periodontal Diseases and 12 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 90 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
This study evaluates the interaction between host immune cells and bacteria associated with periodontitis. It comprises biological material from donors with and without periodontal disease. Specifically, we collect a spit and blood sample to conduct in vitro stimulations and measurements of selected parameters related to periodontitis to clarify obscure areas in the immunologic pathogenesis of this disease.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Peripheral mononuclear blood cells are stimulated with periodontitis-associated- and control bacteria to measure the amount of positive cytokine-producing cells.
Anitbody titers will be measured in saliva and serum samples.
DNA obtained from saliva samples will be used to determine the genotype of the participants for selected SNPs.
Determination of the presence of periodontitis-associated bacteria e.i. Porphyromonas gingivalis in saliva and blood samples.
