    摘要: Methods for diagnosing the status of periodontitis disease includes selecting a set of protein biomarkers including one or more biomarkers which have been shown to vary in abundance at particular stages of periodontitis. The set of protein biomarkers may be identified and quantified in expression in an acquired gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) or saliva oral fluid sample in order to distinguish between different states of periodontitis. Methods of diagnosing the status of periodontitis oral disease at varying levels of severity, e.g. gingivitis, mild periodontitis, or severe periodontitis, may include selecting a set of protein biomarkers which are capable distinguishing between different stages of periodontitis.

    摘要: The object of the present invention is to provide: a test kit for an antibody titer or an antibody against a periodontal disease-causing bacterium in a blood sample, which enables the testing on a periodontal disease in patients having a wide scope of immunotypes with high accuracy and can be treated by an automated device at a high speed; a periodontal disease-causing bacterium antigen protein which can be suitably used in the kit; a method for testing an antibody titer or the presence of an antibody in a blood sample using the kit; and a kit for typing strains of Porphyromonas gingivalis. The present invention discloses: a test kit comprising a set of polypeptides respectively having the acid sequences represented by SEQ ID NOs: 1, 3, 9, 15, 19, 31, 41, 43, 63, 65 and 67; a modified polypeptide having the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 67; and a method for determining an antibody titer or the presence of an antibody against a periodontal disease-causing bacterium in a blood sample separated from a human body, comprising bringing the blood sample into contact with the above-mentioned set of polypeptides.

    摘要: The invention describes a method of predicting the risk of caries in a subject and a kit based on said method, characterized in that the method involves the following steps:
    (a) determining the concentration in the saliva of the subject of: (i) at least one compound selected from among the components of the saliva of the immune system; (ii) at least one compound selected from among those involved in microbial adhesion to a surface of the buccal cavity; and (iii) at least one compound selected from among the components involved in the metabolism or regulation of pH in the buccal cavity;
    (b) comparing a response variable calculated on the basis of the at least one of the concentrations determined in (i), at least one of the concentrations determined in (ii), and at least one of the concentrations determined in (iii) in step (a) with a corresponding reference response variable in a population of subjects without caries or in a population of subjects with caries; and
    (c) determining the risk of caries on the basis of the degree of difference in the response variable compared in step (b), wherein a higher degree of difference between the response variable of the subject and the corresponding reference response variable in a population of subjects without caries or in a population of subjects with caries is indicative of a higher risk of caries in said subject.
