<p>Agent with anti-caries activity contains cows' milk immunoglobulin. The agent is produced by immunising cows with Streptococcus mutans and isolating the agent from the cows. The agent is a milk prod. contg. antibodies against the cariogenic bacterium Streptococcus mutans and can be applied to the teeth to inhibit dental caries. The fact that the antibodies are contained in a completely natural foodstuff makes the agent partic. easy to administer. The dried milk prod. can be diluted with water to form a mouthwash, or may be incorporated into sugar-free sweets (e.g. chewing gum, bonbons or ice-creams), or the immunoglobulin can be incorporated into conventional dentrifice prepns. The reconstituted milk can also be used as a simple drink which inhibits the formation of colonies of Streptococcus mutans.</p> |
