  • Title: The use of capillary electrophoresis to identify cationic proteins in human parotid saliva.
    Author: Lal K, Xu L, Colburn J, Hong AL, Pollock JJ.
    Journal: Arch Oral Biol; 1992 Jan; 37(1):7-13. PubMed ID: 1596212.
    Abstract:
    Eight proteins, HRPs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, lysozyme and histatin 6, are the major cationic components of the parotid salivas of normal healthy individuals. Histatins 2 and 4 appear to be further degradation products of the HRPs. Capillary electrophoresis separates all of these eight components, thus allowing future studies to correlate protein concentration with antimicrobial activity in health and disease.
