Porphyromonas gingivalisis a keystone periodontal pathogen. Histologocally, the gingival tissue in periodontitis shows dense infiltration of plasma cells. However, antigens recognized by antibodies secreted from the immunocytes remain unknown. The enzyme‐labeled antigen method was applied to detecting plasma cells producingP. gingivalis‐specific antibodies in biopsied gingival tissue of periodontitis. N‐terminally biotinylatedP. gingivalisantigens, Ag53 and four gingipain domains (Arg‐pro, Arg‐hgp, Lys‐pro and Lys‐hgp) were prepared by the cell‐free protein synthesis system using wheatgerm extract. With these five labeled proteins as probes, 20 lesions of periodontitis were evaluated. With the AlphaScreen method, antibodies against any one of the fiveP. gingivalisantigens were detected in 11 (55%) serum samples and 17 (85%) tissue extracts. Using the enzyme‐labeled antigen method on paraformaldehyde‐fixed frozen sections of gingival tissue, plasma cells were labeled with any one of the five antigens in 17 (94%) of 18 specimens, in which evaluable plasma cells were detected. The positivity rates in periodontitis were significantly higher than those found previously in radicular cysts (20% in sera and 33% in tissue extracts with the AlphaScreen method, and 25% with the enzyme‐labeled antigen method). Our findings directly indicate that antibodies reactive toP. gingivalisare locally produced in the gingival lesions, and that inflammatory reactions againstP. gingivalisare involved in periodontitis.
