title: Expression of the LFA-1 beta molecule on peripheral blood leukocytes of patients with early-onset periodontitis: effects of dental plaque microbes.
abstract: The effect of dental plaque bacteria on LFA-1 beta expression on peripheral blood leukocytes was studied in 20 patients with early-onset periodontitis and in 10 healthy controls. Stimulation of PMN with selected dental plaque bacteria which play a role in the pathogeny of periodontitis significantly increased the expression of LFA-1 beta in the group of patients as compared with the controls.
