Background Gingipains are important virulence factors present in Porphyromonas gingivalis. Arginine-specific gingipains (RgpA and RgpB) are critically associated with increased proteolytic activity and immune system dysfunction, including neutrophilic activity. In this study, we assessed the impact of gingipains (RgpA and RgpB) on neutrophil function.
