RESUMO
Human oral spirochetes are prominent inhabitants of subgingival plaque in patients with periodontal disease. By immunoelectron microscopy using protein A-gold complexes and either polyclonal mouse antiserum against the 53-kDa antigen or 53-kDa-antigen-specific monoclonal antibody, a major polypeptide antigen, with a molecular weight of 53,000 (molecular size, 53 kilodaltons [kDa]), of a human oral spirochete, Treponema denticola ATCC 33520, was found to localize on the surface of the outer envelope.
