ANTIBODIES AND COMPOSITIONS THEREOF FOR INHIBITING DENTAL INDUCED BY S. ABITANS

摘要

Antibodies for inhibiting human dental caries induced by Streptococcus mutans may be prepared by immunizing a mammal with at least one antigen selected from two antigens, a first of which may be isolated from the pili-like structures on the cell surface of strains of S. mutans of serotypes c, e, f and g and a second of which may be isolated from the pili-like structures on the cell surface of strains of S. mutans of serotype d, and recovering the resultant antibodies from said mammal.
