Evaluation Of Porphyromona Gingivalis Serology In Rheumatoid Arthritis and Non-Rheumatoid Inflammatory Disease
Background/Purpose: Periodontal disease (PD) is associated mainly with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but recent data suggest an association with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis…Abstract Number: 2417 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Antibodies To Porphyromonas Gingivalis Peptidylarginine Deiminase In Rheumatoid Arthritis Are Not Directed Against The Autocitrullinated Enzyme
Background/Purpose: Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) has received considerable attention by investigators trying to explain the striking association of periodontal disease (PD) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Bacterial…Abstract Number: 2425 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Impaired TNFá Production By Dendritic Cells From Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Upon Contact With Porphyromonas Gingivalis
Background/Purpose: The prevalence of periodontitis is increased in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the severity of periodontitis can affect the level of arthritis. Porphyromonas…Abstract Number: 2430 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Antibodies To Porphyromonas Gingivalis as An Etiological Clue To The Development Of Anti-Citrullinated Protein Antibody Positive Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by the production of autoantibodies to citrullinated proteins (ACPA). Citrullinated proteins are generated by the actions of peptidyl arginine…Abstract Number: 2409 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association Of High Serum Interleukin-23 Levels With Porphyromonas Gingivalis Antibodies In Patients With Early Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with an increased frequency of periodontal disease (PD) and antibodies to P. gingivalis (Pg), a major periodontal pathogen. Both…
