摘要:: Cytokines produced by T-cells in periodontal lesions may determine the nature of the adaptive immune response. Since different antigen-presenting cells (APC) may direct the Th1/Th2 response, P. gingivalis-specific T-cell lines were established by different APC subpopulations, and their cytokine profiles were determined. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells induced similar percentages of IL-4+ and IFN-gamma+ T-cells and lower percentages of IL-10+ T-cells. Epstein-Barr virus-transformed B-cells (LCL) induced higher percentages of IL-4+ cells than IFN-gamma+ cells, with lower percentages of IL-10+ cells. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells induced a higher percent of IFN-gamma+ CD8 cells than LCL (p = 0.004). Purified B-cells, monocytes, and dendritic cells induced similar percentages of IL-4+ and IFN-gamma+ cells, although again, the percentage of IL-10+ cells was lower. The results of the present study have demonstrated that, as measured by FACS analysis of intracytoplasmic cytokines, P. gingivalis-specific T-cells produce both Th1 and Th2 cytokines, regardless of the APC population.
