<p>A method of preparing a purified glucosyltransferase (GTF) for use in immunization against dental caries, which method comprises: culturing a Streptococcus mutans in a medium containing glucose and dialyzable nutrients to form a mixture of culture cells and supernatant; recovering the supernatant by the removal of the culture cells; admixing the recovered supernatant with a water-insoluble, polymerized polysaccharide as solid particulate material for a period of time, to provide a GTF, solid particulate complex; recovering the GTF complex in solid particulate form by filtration; washing the solid GTF complex to remove unbound GTF and medium components; removing the GTF from the solid particulate material by a denaturing solvent; recovering the water-insoluble particulate material for reuse in the method; and recovering the GTF from the water-insoluble polysaccharide and purifying the recovered GTF. </p> |
