Abstract

Fimbriae and their constituent protein (fimbrilin) were purified to homogeneity from the bacterial wash fluid and cell lysate fraction, respectively, of Bacteroides gingivalis 381. Fimbriae, observed by negative staining, were curly, single-stranded filaments with a diameter of ca. 5 nm. The apparent molecular weight of the fimbrilin was 43,000. Fimbriae were resistant to sodium dodecyl sulfate denaturation at 70 degrees C. Heating at 100 degrees C in sodium dodecyl sulfate was needed to completely dissociate them to monomers of fimbrilin. Different sets of antigenic determinants seemed to be exposed on the surfaces of fimbriae and sodium dodecyl sulfate-denatured fimbrilin. Purified fimbriae did not show either hemagglutinating activity or hemagglutination inhibitory activity, although it has been inferred on the basis of circumstantial evidence that fimbriae are correlated to hemagglutinating activity of the organism. Hemagglutinin activity, however, was detected in culture supernatant, and this observation suggests that fimbriae of a different type or a lectin-like protein may be acting as hemagglutinin in B. gingivalis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
