The cultural supernatant of Mycoplasma fermentans induced interleukin-6 production by human gingival fibroblasts. The active entities were divided into hydrophilic and hydrophobic substances. In this study, we purified a 4.1-kilodalton polypeptide from the hydrophilic substances. It reacted with polyclonal antibodies to M. fermentans and activated human macrophages.
发酵支原体的培养上清液可诱导人牙龈成纤维细胞产生白细胞介素-6。活性物质分为亲水物质和疏水物质。在本研究中,我们从亲水物质中纯化出一种4.1千道尔顿的多肽。它可与抗发酵支原体的多克隆抗体发生反应,并激活人巨噬细胞。
