Adsorption of Components of the Plasma Kinin-Forming System on the Surface of Porphyromonas gingivalis Involves Gingipains as the Major Docking Platforms

Enhanced production of proinflammatory bradykinin-related peptides, the kinins, has been suggested to contribute to the pathogenesis of periodontitis, a common inflammatory disease of human gingival tissues. In this report, we describe a plausible mechanism of activation of the kinin-generating syst...
