The suitability of cynomolgus monkeys(Macaca fascicularis)for studies concerned with the biologic properties ofActinobacillus actinomycetemcomitansis the subject of the present investigation. We found that normal monkeys harbored leukotoxic strains ofA. actinomycetemcomitansin subgingival plaque samples. Monkey peripheral blood PMNs and monocytes were killed followingin vitroexposure to sonic extracts of leukotoxic strains ofA. actinomycetemcomitans. Monkey sera were capable of inhibiting the leukotoxic properties ofA. actinomycetemcomitanssonic extracts due to the presence of IgG antibodies which neutralized the leukotoxin. Similarly, sera from patients with juvenile periodontitis (but not normal human sera) abolished leukotoxin‐mediated killing of monkey PMNs. Monkey peripheral blood lymphoid cells were not killed byA. actinomycetemcomitansbut demonstrated depressed responses to mitogens following pre‐incubation withA. actinomycetemcomitanssonicates prepared from either leukotoxic or “non‐leukotoxic” human strains. These studies suggest that cynomolgus monkeys may serve as a suitablein vitroandin vivomodel for delineating more about host‐A. actinomycetemcomitansinterrelationships in the etiology of human periodontal disease.
