Relative avidities of antibodies toPorphyromonas (Bacteroides) gingivalisin the sera of 15 patients having adult periodontitis and 15 healthy subjects were evaluated using an ammonium thiocyanate‐dissociated ELISA. Graded concentrations of ammonium thiocyanate were added to a single dilution of serum in order to dissociate low avidity antibody binding toP. gingivalis. The concentration of thiocyanate resulting in 50% reduction in binding (absorbance) was termed the ID50for that serum. When IgG‐class antibodies were examined, the ID50of anti‐P. gingivalisantibodies in the sera of patients was significantly elevated (0.96M vs 0.71M; p<0.01, Student's t‐test). In contrast, when IgM‐class antibodies were examined no significant differences in ID50between patients and controls were found forP. gingivalis(0.54M vs 0.53M). While the ID50values of patient antibodies were found to be elevated relative to those of healthy controls, comparison with antibodies from rabbits immunized withP. gingivalisand with ID50values from other human studies suggests that adult humans, in general, produce very low‐avidity antibodies toP. gingivalis. It is suggested that the presence of low‐avidity antibodies contributes to the pathology associated with periodontal disease.
