Killing of human myelomonocytic leukemia and lymphocytic cell lines by Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans leukotoxin.
TL;DR: The purified leukotoxin of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans kills human leukemic cell lines and human T- and B-cell lines in a dose- and time-dependent manner.

Atraumatic Restorative Treatment for Prevention and Treatment of Caries in an Underserved Community
TL;DR: Atraumatic restorative treatment is acceptable and effective to control and prevent decay in a socioeconomically deprived community in Mexico.

TL;DR: The present paper details the sequences of the AaLtB and Aa LtD genes which are also homologues of genes found in other cytolytic toxin complexes of several other Gram-negative bacterial pathogens.

Immunotoxic effects of mercuric compounds on human lymphocytes and monocytes. II. Alterations in cell viability.
TL;DR: Electron microscopic analysis of cells treated with mercury revealed early nuclear alterations characterized by hyperchromaticity, nuclear fragmentation and condensation of nucleoplasm that are consistent with the notion that mercury initiates cytotoxic changes associated with programmed cell death.

Electron immunocytochemical localization of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans leukotoxin.
TL;DR: The leukotoxin was found to be localized either in the cell envelope and/or in membranous vesicles on the outer surface of the bacterial cell, which support previous observations indicating the same location.
