Figure 2.
LAgP serum demonstrated differential reactivity compared to CP serum. A) Extracts from cementum scrapings and the associated gingival tissue from eight premolar teeth were probed with 1:500 dilution pooled serum (n = 5) or 1:500 dilution of individual serum of subjects with LAgP, CP, or PDH subjects using a standard Western blot protocol. Representative blot of experiments performed three times. B) A densitometer was used to capture the developed image of blots from experiments performed with individual serum (n = 5) from each experimental group, and the band densities were semiquantified. *P ≤0.001: LAgP versus CP and LAgP versus PDH band I; †P = 0.001: CP versus PDH band.
