Antibodies

Mab Guy 1

Antibody type and class

IgG2a

Assay System

solid-phase radioimmunoassy, Competitive inhibition experiments

Cross-reactivity

This Mab was raised against specific carbohydrate epitopes on the SA and not against contaminating c polysaccharide in the SA preparation and was specific to serotype c

Proposed epitopes

glucose is part of the epitopes of SA recognized by this Mab

Proposed Utility

his Mab can be used in local passive immunization to prevent colonization of S. mutans and the development of caries in monkeys and to prevent colonization of S. mutans in human subjects
