Interaction of Streptococcus mutans glucosyltransferases with antibodies
Adv Exp Med Biol.
1978.
Abstract
1) The GTF-A and GTF-B activities of serotype (c), (e), and (f) organisms are antigenically more closely related to each other than to the comparable enzymes from organisms of the other four S. mutans serotypes. 2) The adherence-inhibiting antibody in anti-GTF-A appears to be mediated against a heat sensitive cell surface antigen of S. mutans - most likely GTF activity. However, unequivocal proof of this conclusion awaits the preparations of homogeneous GTF-A preparations.
