Binding of Treponema denticola ATCC 35405 to glycosaminoglycans, fibrinogen, type I collagen and porcine periodontal ligament epithelial cells was studied using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. T. denticola bound to hyaluronan (hyaluronic acid) and its hexameric fragments. whereas little or no binding was detected to chondroitin-4-sulfate or dermatan sulfate proteoglycan. Binding of T. denticola to hyaluronan gradually increased during the 2-h incubation time. In contrast, binding to fibrinogen and type I collagen was more rapid, peaking within 5 min. T. denticola also bound to microbeads coated with hyaluronan and formed visible aggregates in solution. Pretreatment of the bacteria with hyaluronan or fibrinogen inhibited binding to hyaluronan. Gelatin, bovine serum albumin, chondroitin-4-sulfate, chondroitin-6-sulfate, heparin, dermatan sulfate, glucuronic acid, N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetyl-galactosamine did not inhibit binding. Binding was also inhibited by heating T. denticola and by pretreatment of the spirochetes with sodium periodate, phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, and p-chloromercurybenzoic acid. All these treatments also inhibited the chymotrypsin-like activity of T. denticola. Hyaluronan strongly inhibited binding of T. denticola to epithelial cells, whereas the other glycosaminoglycans and N-acetyl-glucosamine did not. The results show that T. denticola binds to hyaluronan, possibly by a mechanism involving the chymotrypsin-like surface protein of T. denticola.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D004847 Epithelial Cells Cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the body by forming cellular layers (EPITHELIUM) or masses. Epithelial cells lining the SKIN; the MOUTH; the NOSE; and the ANAL CANAL derive from ectoderm; those lining the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM and the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM derive from endoderm; others (CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM and LYMPHATIC SYSTEM) derive from mesoderm. Epithelial cells can be classified mainly by cell shape and function into squamous, glandular and transitional epithelial cells.

D005340 Fibrinogen Plasma glycoprotein clotted by thrombin, composed of a dimer of three non-identical pairs of polypeptide chains (alpha, beta, gamma) held together by disulfide bonds. Fibrinogen clotting is a sol-gel change involving complex molecular arrangements: whereas fibrinogen is cleaved by thrombin to form polypeptides A and B, the proteolytic action of other enzymes yields different fibrinogen degradation products.
