  • Title: The determination of antibody to Streptococcus mutans serotypes in saliva for children ages 3 to 7 years.
    Author: Everhart DL, Rothenberg K, Carter WH, Klapper B.
    Journal: J Dent Res; 1978 Apr; 57(4):631-5. PubMed ID: 101566.
    Abstract:
    The saliva of 29 children ages 3 to 7 years was followed by indirect immunoflourescence to determine the antibody reacting with the 5 different serotypes of S mutans. Fluorescent antisera specific for alpha chain and gamma chain were used. Statistical analysis of the data demonstrated a significant negative correlation between antibody of immunoglobin class (IgA) to S mutans type b and the decayed, extracted and filled surfaces of deciduous teeth.
