The new primer set targeted the rgpA and rgpB genes that encode arginine specific cysteine proteinase (Arggingipain or Rgp), one of the putative pathogenic factors of P. gingivalis. The PCR product obtained using our primers showed no by-products by melting curve analysis. The PCR product sequence showed no significant matches to other sequences by BLAST searching of genetic databases except for matches to P. gingivalis rgpA and rgpB sequence, and could not be amplified from template derived from other oral bacteria apart from P. gingivalis. Therefore, we concluded that our primers were specific for P. gingivalis rgpA and rgpB, and could be used to quantity from 10^3 to 10^7 P. gingivalis cells when applied to real time PCR.}, pages = {11--19}, title = {Quantification of Porphyromonas gingivalis by real time PCR : new primers targeting the rgpA and rgpB gene encoding RGP}, volume = {22}, year = {2003} }
