Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates how dental pulp cells respond to immunogenic components like LPS and LTA from bacteria, particularly focusing on the production of inflammatory cytokines TNFα and IL-6 when these cells are treated with the resin monomer HEMA under different oxidative conditions.
  • - Human pulp fibroblasts and odontoblast-like cells were exposed to LTA, LPS, or HEMA for 1 to 24 hours, with results showing that LPS and LTA significantly increased IL-6 production after longer exposure, while HEMA inhibited this inflammatory response, influenced by redox conditions.
  • - The findings suggest that HEMA compromises the normal immune function of dental pulp cells by affecting their oxidative stress balance, potentially impairing their

The 34,525 nucleotide sequence of a double-stranded DNA bacteriophage (phiMhaA1-PHL101) from Mannheimia haemolytica serotype A1 has been determined. The phage encodes 50 open reading frames. Twenty-three of the proteins are similar to proteins of the P2 family of phages.
