Porphyromonas gingivalis infection transiently increases levels of survivin. GEC were infected with P. gingivalis at moi of 1, 10 and 50, or were mock-infected (control) for 30 min (A), 2 h (B) or 16 h (C). Cell lysates were analysed by immunoblotting with antibodies to survivin. Blots were then stripped and probed with β-actin antibodies as a loading control (not shown). Blots were analysed by scanning densitometry and ratios of survivin/β-actin determined relative to ratios in control cells. Data are representative of three independent experiments.
