This study examined the variable serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels to genetically distinct autologousEikenella corrodensstrains by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Twenty subjects, including 10 adult periodontitis patients, 5 juvenile periodontitis patients and 5 periodontally healthy subjects were examined. Each subject was colonized by 2–8 genetically distinctE. corrodensstrains. The serum IgG levels to autologousE. corrodenswithin individuals were significantly different in 7 adult periodontitis patients, 4 juvenile periodontitis patients and a periodontally healthy subject. Poor correlation was found in diseased subjects between serum IgG levels to autologous strains and to reference strains ATCC 23834 or FDC 373. Four adult periodontitis patients and two juvenile periodontitis patients exhibited significant serum IgG levels to autologousE. corrodensstrains (two standard deviations above the mean for periodontally healthy subjects); two of these six diseased subjects exhibited low serum IgG levels to reference strains and would have been classified as low immune responders if only reference strains had been used in ELISA. This study showed the importance of using autologousE. corrodensstrains in the assessment of serum IgG immune responses to this organism.
