Differential Cell Lysis Among Periodontal Strains of JP2 and Non-JP2 Genotype of <i>Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans</i> Serotype B Is Not Reflected in Dissimilar Expression and Production of Leukotoxin
Leukotoxic potential of <i>Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans</i> strains has been studied by the use of several methods, and results differ depending on the methods used. The aim of the present study was to perform a comprehensive examination of the leukotoxic potential of a collecti...

Leukotoxic potential of <i>Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans</i> strains has been studied by the use of several methods, and results differ depending on the methods used. The aim of the present study was to perform a comprehensive examination of the leukotoxic potential of a collection of <i>A. actinomycetemcomitans</i> strains by use of three quantitative methods, Western blotting, ELISA, and mRNA expression assay and compare these results with previous data obtained by a cell lysis assay. A higher leukotoxic potential among JP2 genotype strains compared to non-JP2 genotype strains of <i>A. actinomycetemcomitans</i> was found by Western blotting, ELISA and mRNA expression assay. Leukotoxicity as determined by cell lysis assay showed a variation among strains examined, not only depending on being part of JP2 genotype <i>vs</i>. non-JP2 genotype group of <i>A. actinomycetemcomitans</i>.
