title: The 57 kDa protein is a major antigen in the outer membrane of invasive Porphyromonas gingivalis strains.
abstract: 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.
