Internalization and Colocalization of a Polyclonal Antibody Against Porphyromonas gingivalis FimA type I in Infected Cells.

Objective:  The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of a rabbit polyclonal antibody specific to FimA type I (FimI) protein internalized into infected cells.

Materials And Methods:  Rabbits were immunized with FimI protein and the serum was collected for immunoglobulin (Ig) purification. For visualization of the antibody inside the cells, it was labeled with Cy3 dye.
