The 57 kDa protein is a major antigen in the outer membrane of invasive Porphyromonas gingivalis strains.
The antigenicities of the outer membranes from invasive strains of Porphyromonas gingivalis were characterized by double and triple immunostaining of Western blots. It was found that a protein estimated at approximately 57 kDa is a major antigen in the outer membrane of invasive P. gingivalis strains.
